Clee St. Margaret, Craven Arms, Shropshire

Clee St. Margaret is a picturesque rural village nestled beneath the Clee Hills, offering a peaceful and scenic setting within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The village is renowned for its excellent walking routes, unspoilt landscape, and strong sense of community. Despite its tranquil atmosphere, it remains conveniently close to the historic market town of Ludlow, which provides a wide range of independent shops, eateries, cultural attractions, and rail links.

This pretty stone cottage originally dates back to the 1600’s and has been much improved by the current owners to create this beautiful home on offer today, which lies in the heart of the rural hamlet of Clee St. Margaret. As you approach the home, there is a gravelled parking area for a couple of vehicles. Steps rise up from here to the oak framed canopied porch providing access to the property.

You are welcomed into an entrance hallway, which also has a useful utility area, with a door through to bedroom four which enjoys dual aspect windows, this versatile space could lend itself to a further reception room or potential office space.

Adjacent to this room is the music room, which enjoys windows to the front and a door leading through to the downstairs bathroom, comprising bath with shower over, vanity unit with inset wash hand basin, WC and window to the rear. This part of the house could lend itself to being used for multigenerational living if required, with the option of creating an internal annexe.

From the music room you enter the spacious sitting room, which has a wealth of original features including exposed beams and a large stone inglenook fireplace, with a central woodburning stove, creating a lovely atmosphere during the winter months.

The dining/seating area has two large Velux windows above allowing plenty of light to pour in. Features include Oak flooring and a beautiful stone wall, double French doors and a further stable door open out into the garden, creating an ideal space for indoor outdoor living through the summer months. There is ample space for a large family dining table, and also a further sitting area with room for sofas.

A recently installed bespoke staircase rises from the sitting room to the first floor landing, a door to your left leads you through to the principal bedroom suite. A large landing area offers a dressing space with large built in wardrobes. A door to the left leads you through to the ensuite bathroom.

Across the landing, there are two further interconnecting bedrooms. Bedroom two has an original A framed cruck beam and a velux window allowing plenty of natural light in and bedroom three, is currently used as a home office, further adding to the versatility of the home.

The garden is a really special feature of Steps Cottage, immediately behind the house is a large patio area, which offers a fantastic space for entertaining. Steps from here lead to a large area of lawn which is interspersed with mature trees and herbaceous borders. There are various different spaces to sit and enjoy and the peace and quiet, including a summerhouse. There is also a productive kitchen garden with raised beds, a greenhouse, and soft fruit cage.
