Description

Discover High Bank, an exquisite single-level cottage offering an unparalleled degree of privacy and one of the most breath-taking uninterrupted panoramic vistas in Shropshire. With commanding views stretching over the rolling countryside and directly towards the iconic Pontesford Hill, this property is truly special.

Situated in the highly desirable and picturesque setting of Pontesbury Hill, this superb property has been recently and meticulously refurbished to an exceptionally high standard, creating a truly luxurious and ready-to-move-into home. Furthermore, High Bank is currently a highly successful holiday let, making it an outstanding investment opportunity or a perfect primary residence. Viewing is absolutely essential to fully appreciate the quality, private setting, and spectacular, commanding views.

Step inside to an impressive, naturally lit Open Plan Living/Dining/Kitchen space, meticulously designed to maximise the spectacular, uninterrupted scenery. Wood effect tile flooring with underfloor heating flows throughout, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The focal point of the living area is a striking cast iron Aga wood stove set on a quarry tile hearth with a wooden mantle, perfect for cosy evenings. The room benefits from large double-glazed windows on three sides, perfectly framing the exceptional views across the extensive garden and the rolling Shropshire countryside, with Pontesford Hill taking centre stage in the dramatic backdrop.

The Kitchen Area is a masterpiece of contemporary country style, featuring solid wood worktops with a classic Belfast sink, a series of elegant base and eye-level units, an integrated electric oven with a 4-ring ceramic hob, and a designer glass splash-back. Integrated appliances include a washing machine and slim-line dishwasher. Double-glazed patio doors lead out to a private rear courtyard garden, ideal for catching the morning sun.

High Bank offers two beautifully appointed bedrooms, both with stylish en-suite facilities.

Bedroom 1 is a haven of relaxation with spectacular, far-reaching views across the garden and countryside, a contemporary electric panel heater, and a feature wall with tongue and groove panelling and inset bedside lamps. A stylish character barn sliding door leads to a very stylish En-suite Shower Room, fully equipped with a tiled shower cubicle, rainfall shower, a circular wash basin set to a wooden stand, and grey quarry tile flooring.

Bedroom 2 enjoys a secluded view over the courtyard garden and is served by an impressively fitted En-suite Bathroom, which includes a contemporary three-piece suite with a 'P' shape bath, mixer tap, and a rainfall shower above, along with a circular wash basin set to a wooden stand.

High Bank enjoys an enviable elevated setting, offering an incredible level of seclusion and providing some of the finest views Shropshire has to offer. Approached from Top Road, gates open onto a generous gravel driveway providing ample parking and leading to a detached Garage with double doors and a side window.

The garden has been expertly landscaped to create a wonderful feature and backdrop to the cottage. Railway sleepers form steps leading from the drive up to a circular paved patio, flanked by extensive lawns, well-stocked beds, and borders. Split-level patios lie beyond, perfectly positioned to take in the full, dramatic effect of the panoramic views.

Practical features include several external lighting points, power points, and a dedicated hot and cold external shower unit. This is specifically installed for showering dogs after long and muddy walks in the stunning surrounding area of outstanding natural beauty!

A further attractive gravel and circular paved patio is accessed directly from the living room, offering great privacy with raised beds, wild strawberries, and a useful garden store.
