The Property - Introducing Charles Cottage, which is a simply stunning, detached property found in an elevated, idyllic position in the rural hamlet of Round Oak, which sits within the scenic Clun Valley surrounded by glorious Shropshire countryside and rolling hills as far as the eye can see, close to the Welsh/English border.

Located in a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB), Charles Cottage is a real treat for anyone looking to 'escape to the country', enjoying breath-taking, panoramic views and easy access onto a number of footpaths/trails and bridleways. Rural, but by no means isolated, the property is located approximately 3 miles from the town of Craven Arms and overall offers 2 double bedrooms, 2 reception rooms including an open-plan kitchen diner and a bathroom featuring potentially one of the the best views in Shropshire!

Built in 1888 and then extended in the 1970s, Charles Cottage is available with no upward chain and has been much improved and lovingly maintained by the present owners over the past 13 years. Immaculately presented throughout, Charles Cottage offers a pleasant blend of contemporary and period features from double glazed windows and central heating to exposed timbers and stonework and inglenook fireplaces. Within more recent years the vendors have overseen upgrades such as a complete electrical re-wire, a new central heating system with external boiler, new aluminium framed double glazed windows and modifications to the septic tank, all just to mention a select few.

The accommodation spans across 2 floors and is made up on the ground floor of an oak framed entrance lobby/hall, living room complete with inglenook fireplace and an inset wood-burning stove and stairs rising off to the first floor. A door leads into the open-plan kitchen/diner which is finished with solid wood worktops, integrated appliances and plenty of cupboard space, along with a door providing access to the rear garden/seating area and a further inglenook fire with an inset wood-burning stove. On the first floor, a landing area has space for a desk and could suit those looking to work from home and gives way to 2 double bedrooms, a useful cupboard and the modern bathroom, which also includes a corner shower. Both bedrooms feature built-in wardrobes as well as far-reaching panoramic views across the surrounding countryside. The bathroom also enjoys the same stunning views and is the perfect spot to unwind.

Outside and to the front is a gravelled driveway providing off road parking for at least 3 vehicles. A wooden wicket gate opens to paved steps which lead down to the front door and south-west facing gardens. Worthy of particular note, the extensive gardens are stocked with a variety of mature specimen trees and shrubs and has sections of lawn and gravelled pathways leading to all corners. Perfect for horticultural enthusiasts, the garden features a decorative pond, 2 useful sheds, planted beds and last, but certainly not least a superb seating area found at the back of the property, which poses as the ideal spot to relax while enjoying the breathtaking views beyond the gardens.
