Description

Evenwood Cottage is a delightful detached home, set in an idyllic countryside location, six miles from Much Wenlock. The property features attractive elevations of stone and white render, while inside there is well-presented accommodation, which retains much of its original period character.

There are four reception rooms on the ground floor, including a living room with its handsome original inglenook fireplace, which has been fitted with a woodburning stove. There is also a generous sitting room with a cast-iron fireplace and French doors opening onto the gardens, while a hallway connects to what was previously a separate outbuilding but has been combined with the main home to provide a large office space or further reception room with exposed timber beams and a logburner. Additionally, the ground floor has a further office for home working and a well-equipped kitchen with a range cooker and space for a dining table.

Upstairs there are four well-presented bedrooms, three of which are doubles of similar proportions, while one is ideal for use as a dressing room, nursery or study. The principal bedroom benefits from an en suite shower room, while the first floor also has a family bathroom.


Outside
The property is located approximately 100 yards back from the road along a gravelled driveway, which leads to parking in front of the house, as well as a further parking area to the side and provides access to the stables and storage block. The gardens surrounding the house have gravel terracing for al fresco dining, rolling lawns and peaceful meadows, as well as various mature trees and established shrubs and hedgerows.
