There is ample space for a family dining table, while the fitted kitchen offers a range of base and wall units with space for everyday appliances. Stairs rise to the first floor, whilst an opening leads through into the spacious living room.

The living room is a wonderfully comfortable reception space, centred around a feature fireplace housing a wood-burning stove set. Exposed ceiling beams continue the cottage theme, while a window allows plenty of natural light to flood the room, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere throughout the seasons. A door from within the living room could potentially provide direct access into the useful adjoining workshop, if a buyer wanted to convert this space into a study/studio, subject to all necessary permissions.

On the first floor, a generous landing provides access to the bathroom, airing cupboard and both double bedrooms. The principal bedroom is particularly impressive, enjoying a spacious dual-aspect layout with delightful views stretching across Clun and towards the surrounding hills beyond. Bedroom two is another comfortable double room, again benefiting from a pleasant outlook over the village rooftops and surrounding countryside. Completing the accommodation is the family bathroom, fitted with both a bath and separate shower cubicle.

Outside, Lavender Cottage enjoys attractive gardens extending to both the front and side of the property. Approached via a gated stepped pathway, the front garden is predominantly paved along with mature shrubs, planting and established borders creating an attractive first impression. Continuing around to the left side of the cottage, the garden provides a lawned area, ideal for sitting out and enjoying the peaceful surroundings, as well as flowered beds, the oil tank and access into the useful workshop. From the garden and first-floor windows, beautiful distant views can be appreciated across Clun and the rolling countryside beyond, further enhancing the property's enviable setting. Adding further appeal is the private off-road parking area.

Overall, Lavender Cottage successfully blends period charm with practical modern living, whilst occupying an outstanding position where everyday conveniences and breathtaking countryside sit hand in hand. Rarely do properties offer such an appealing combination of character, gardens, parking, wonderful views and immediate access to some of the finest walking countryside in Shropshire.
