Nestled in an enviable rural position on the edge of the sought-after village of Trefonen, 2–3 Piccadilly is an attractive and characterful stone cottage which has been sympathetically extended over the years to create a warm and versatile family home. Surrounded by open fields and rolling Shropshire countryside, the property offers a wonderful sense of tranquillity while remaining well connected to nearby Oswestry. The renowned Offa’s Dyke Path runs close by, making this an ideal location for walking enthusiasts and those seeking an active outdoor lifestyle.

Accommodation

The property is approached via a private parking area to the front, with gated access leading to an oak-framed porch and into the welcoming entrance hall. Rich in character, this space features an impressive inglenook fireplace and tiled flooring, which continues through much of the ground floor. A staircase rises to the first floor, while the hallway provides access to the principal reception spaces.

An inner hall leads to a conveniently positioned WC and a well-proportioned office on the left. The office enjoys delightful outlooks towards the surrounding hills and benefits from a wood-burning stove, offering a perfect home working environment.
From here, two steps descend into the charming sitting room, a beautifully appointed space combining traditional features with modern comfort. With engineered oak flooring, a fireplace with wood-burning stove, and dual aspect views including French doors opening onto the rear garden, this room provides an inviting and relaxing setting.

The heart of the home is the spacious open-plan kitchen and dining area, thoughtfully designed for both family living and entertaining. Bi-fold doors open out onto a patio terrace, ideal for al fresco dining and enjoying the surrounding countryside. The kitchen is fitted with a comprehensive range of units topped with Corian work surfaces and a central island. Appliances include a Rangemaster electric oven with induction hob, integrated microwave and dishwasher. A door leads through to a practical utility area, with space for white goods, housing for the boiler, and external access to the side of the property.

Outside

The property is approached via a parking area to the front, where there is also the benefit of an EV charging point. A side gate leads through to the gardens, which extend to the rear and offer a delightful blend of cultivated and natural spaces.
The gardens gently slope away from the house and have been thoughtfully arranged to include areas left wild, providing a haven for wildlife and pollinating insects, alongside mown pathways for ease of access. A banked area features raised vegetable beds, ideal for those with an interest in homegrown produce.

Immediately adjoining the house is a patio area to the side, together with an additional patio running along the rear elevation, creating excellent spaces for outdoor dining and entertaining. A log store is conveniently positioned here, complementing the cottage’s wood-burning stoves.
