Property - Entering the market for the first time in over three decades, The Homestead is a charming detached two bedroom bungalow set in a peaceful rural position with beautiful private gardens and far-reaching views towards the Shropshire Hills.

This delightful property offers well-balanced and versatile accommodation throughout. The heart of the home is the spacious open-plan living and dining room, where large patio doors frame views of the garden and provide direct access to the patio, creating a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor living.

A characterful brick chimney breast forms a focal point and could accommodate a dual-aspect log burner for added warmth and ambience.
