Location - Located at Walkmill with frontage to the River East Onny, the cottage comprises an idyllic rural setting designated as a conservation area and an area of outstanding natural beauty, between the small villages of Wentnor and Norbury. The immediate area supports a vibrant village hall, primary school, church and three popular pubs, one of which is within walking distance. The nearby market town of Bishops Castle offers a good range of everyday facilities, leisure centre, secondary school, independent shops and cafes. The larger towns of Shrewsbury, Ludlow and Church Stretton, have a wider range of facilities and access to the national railway network. The surrounding countryside has excellent walks and riding to the Stiperstones and Longmynd which are both nearby.

The House - River Cottage is a beautiful Grade II listed home, believed to date back to the 17th Century and is built of local Norbury Stone. The house retains a host of period features including exposed ceiling timbers, stone walling, inglenook fireplace, a bread oven and flagged floors. The property has been sympathetically improved over the past few years and is beautifully appointed throughout.

A well designed contemporary kitchen is light and airy with views to the river and has an integrated cooking range and appliances and leads through to the Dining Room with a stone fireplace and windows to the front and leading to the well proportioned Sitting Room with a large inglenook fireplace with bread oven, perfect for those cosy winter evenings. Adjacent is a rear hallway with painted stone walls together with Utility with separate WC.

The First Floor there are three good sized Bedrooms (one of which is currently a through room) with a Family Bathroom and En-suite Shower, both finished in a contemporary style.

Outside - River Cottage enjoys a perfectly tranquil setting within a small community of three dwellings at Walkmill. Its outside space is a delight, having direct frontage to the River East Onny and overlooking the small stone bridge. To the front is a paved terrace, ideal for al fresco entertaining with pretty landscaped gardens which run down to the banks of the river and around to the rear. Across the shared drive is a well-crafted, substantial timber framed and clad double cart lodge garage with parking for two cars and an electric charging point. There is also additional space in front of the cart lodge garage for parking for multiple vehicles. The cart lodge also has fully boarded storage above with lighting. There is also a secure section divided into storage and further utility. A further smaller outside space lies to the rear and side of the garage, with an integral log store with lighting behind the garage.
