Wild Rose Cottage, Gravels Bank, Minsterley, Shrewsbury

Haymakers Cottage

This charming, converted cow shed now serves as delightful open-plan studio accommodation. Brimming with character, Haymakers Cottage features vaulted ceilings, exposed stone and beams, and a multi-fuel burning stove creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. It includes a well-equipped kitchenette and en-suite facilities, and benefits from disabled access, making it versatile guest accommodation or a potential holiday let.

The Gleanings

Currently registered for commercial use, The Gleanings is another impressive open-plan studio. It features a kitchenette and a shower room. A true highlight is its glazed doors opening onto a private decking area, specifically designed to capture the stunning panoramic views over the property's extensive pasture land and beyond to the dramatic silhouette of The Stiperstones and the surrounding rolling hills. This space offers incredible potential for a variety of uses, subject to relevant permissions.

A large car park provides additional parking for both studio cottages. A timber vehicle gate from this car park allows access onto the Yard, which leads directly to the equestrian facilities.

Equestrian Facilities & Land

For equestrian enthusiasts, the property is exceptionally well-equipped. There are two large stables, one small stable, and a substantial hay barn. A dedicated tack room and workshop further support equestrian or smallholding activities.

The approximately 13.5 acres of land accompanying Wild Rose Cottage are a superb blend of well-maintained pasture, steeper sloped terrain, and enchanting wild areas with coppices. A stream meanders through the property boundary, adding to its natural charm. The varied topography, including the sloped ground, is characteristic of the Shropshire Hills AONB and is instrumental in providing the truly spectacular, far-reaching views. This diverse land is perfect for grazing, exploring, and offers fantastic potential for those dreaming of a self-sufficient lifestyle, particularly as it is a registered smallholding.

Overall Potential

Wild Rose Cottage is more than just a home; it's a lifestyle destination. It offers a multitude of exciting possibilities, whether you're seeking a smallholding to live off the land, an equestrian paradise, a base for a lifestyle business (such as holiday lets, subject to necessary consents), or a unique solution for multi-generational family living with its separate annexe-style accommodations.

For those interested in a self-sufficient lifestyle, the registered smallholding status of Wild Rose Cottage, combined with the natural resources of the area, provides an exceptional foundation.
