This popular village is well placed for those looking to enjoy a quieter pace of life, but also enjoys a strong sense of community and is ideally suited for those who enjoy an outdoor lifestyle, with numerous footpaths, bridleways and quiet country lanes found close by. Rural, but by no means isolated, a bus stop located approximately 50 yards away provides regular services to the nearby market towns of Craven Arms, Church Stretton, Ludlow and Shrewsbury, which all offer a vast array of facilities. In addition, there is also a school bus stop in the village, servicing Church Stretton School.

Corner Cottage retains a wealth of character features throughout including exposed timbers, exposed stonework, original floorboards, feature fireplaces and attractive oak detailing. Whilst retaining all the charm expected of a property of its age, the current owners have undertaken an extensive programme of refurbishment and improvement since purchasing the Corner Cottage in 2014, transforming it into a home perfectly suited to modern-day living. Some of the works carried out include a complete electrical re-wire, re-plumbing, the installation of a Worcester combination boiler, underfloor heating throughout the ground floor, replacement wooden framed double glazed windows and external doors, new kitchen and bathroom suites, a new oak-framed entrance porch and the construction of both a two-storey extension in 2015 and a further single-storey reception room extension in 2021. In addition, the original roof was stripped, re-felted, re-battened and re-tiled, providing considerable peace of mind for prospective purchasers.

Immaculately presented throughout, the accommodation spans across two floors and is made up on the ground floor of an entrance lobby, which opens into the impressive kitchen/dining room and stairs rising off to the first floor. Forming the heart of the home, this superb open-plan space enjoys plenty of natural light and has been fitted with a range of modern units complemented by timber worktops, space for a range cooker and plenty of room for dining and entertaining. The living room is a particularly inviting area and showcases many of the property's original features, including exposed beams and a feature fireplace complete with a wood-burning stove. A second reception room provides excellent flexibility and could suit a variety of purposes including a snug, home office, hobby room or children's playroom, whilst also enjoying direct access into the garden. Completing the ground floor is a useful shower room/utility fitted with a shower cubicle, W.C., wash hand basin and space for white appliances including a washing machine and tumble dryer.

On the first floor, a spacious landing area gives way to the family bathroom and the 3 bedrooms. The principal bedroom benefits from built-in wardrobes and direct access into the bathroom, whilst all bedrooms are well-proportioned and offer comfortable accommodation for both family members and guests. From the first floor, distant countryside views can be enjoyed across the surrounding landscape, further enhancing the property's appeal. The property also benefits from excellent loft and cupboard storage, a feature often lacking in period homes. Accessed from bedroom two is a sizable airing cupboard which houses the combi boiler.

Outside, the gardens are worthy of particular note and provide a private and peaceful setting in which to relax and enjoy the changing seasons. Predominantly laid to lawn and enclosed by fencing and mature hedging, the gardens are stocked with a variety of established shrubs, flowering plants and specimen trees which create colour and interest throughout the year. There is ample space for keen gardeners to get their green fingers stuck into, whilst various seating areas provide perfect spots to sit back and enjoy the surroundings during the warmer months of the year. A useful outbuilding/workshop has power and lighting and provides excellent storage and could suit a variety of additional uses. To the front of the property there is ample off-road parking for numerous vehicles and a gateway which opens into the garden and provides the opportunity to create additional parking if required or a garage/carport, subject to any necessary planning permissions.
