Weston Heath Shrewsbury, Shropshire, SY4 5XE

Introducing Rock Cottage, an exceptional detached cottage that combines small holding and equestrian opportunities, nestled within the sought after area of Weston Heath, Shropshire. This stunning former estate workers small holding previously formed part of the Hawkstone Estate. Offering a truly extraordinary rural lifestyle open to the countryside and direct access into the woodlands.

Approaching Rock Cottage from the no-through road, you'll pass through a wooden gate into the private driveway, where you'll be greeted by a paddock, oak trees, and a large sandstone outcrop, from which the house was historically carved. The exterior is well-maintained and exudes old estate features.

Situated proudly within its 1.4-acre plot, the property boasts beautifully landscaped manicured lawns and mature trees, offering a peaceful and private retreat. The long driveway leads to a secure double garage with ample parking space for multiple vehicles. Around the back of the house, you'll find a large garden with private access to woodlands.

Upon entering the rear of the property, you'll be struck by the newly built Olson Timber stables, hay barn, and functional tack room against the wooded backdrop. The patio features help transition the garden from natural to formal, providing ample space for outdoor activities.

Inside Rock Cottage, you'll find a large versatile reception hallway that sets the tone for the spacious and elegant country-style that extends throughout the home. The ground floor offers a variety of inviting spaces, suitable for various activities. The large reception room is ideal for multi-generational living, entertainment, or relaxation with the family. Continuing through the hallway, you'll find a large family/entertaining kitchen boasting a newly fitted kitchen and dining area with brand new Rayburn stove, separate Bosch oven, and hob, perfect for culinary enthusiasts. Warm underfloor heating radiates through the limestone flagstone floor, flowing seamlessly through to the lobby, living room, utility, and plant room.

The living room provides a warm and cosy environment, with French doors leading to a private patio area that was once a piggery. A feature log burner adds extra warmth and serves as a central focal point. Large windows flood the room with sunlight.

Recent renovations at Rock Cottage include high-quality, energy-efficient windows. All fixtures and fittings, including oak doors, oak countertops, and Miele and Bosch appliances, are energy-efficient. Ample storage is provided throughout the house.

The ground floor also features a plant room housing the A-rated Worcester Bosch oil boiler and green storage water tank (PV ready), enabling the newly commissioned hybrid heating and water system to serve the house economically. The vaulted ceiling provides a spacious and grand entrance into the utility room, which is presented at an impeccable standard, showcasing old features that once served as a wash house.

Access to the first-floor accommodation is via a newly fitted bespoke oak staircase, leading to a large landing opening to each of the three bright bedrooms. The spectacular master bedroom features historic vaulted beams and an external log burner, providing elegance and warmth for cosy nights.
