The Cottage
Nestled in the heart of the beautiful North Shropshire countryside in a wonderfully secluded location down a long private track lies Spicemill Cottage. This genuinely enchanting period cottage was extended and modernised by the current owners in 1974 when many of the original features including exposed beams and sandstone walls were retained. Internally there is plenty of living space and the jewel in the crown is the sitting room with a full-height picture window which overlooks the amazing gardens and orchard.
The Gardens
Over the last 50 years the current owners have lovingly developed the gardens to the cottage with a wide variety of indigenous plants and shrubs to create a haven for wildlife and a completely serene atmosphere. At the bottom of the garden is a lovely pool complete with watercress bed and flowering aquatic plants surrounded by trees. With a woodland area, carpeted in native flowers as the seasons progress, and a prolific orchard, with damson and apple trees, this stunning property is perfect for those looking to reduce their carbon footprint and live more sustainably off the land.
Mill House
A sandstone former mill house at the top of the drive is currently used for storage but would make a delightful home office, hobby room or 'granny' annexe subject to any necessary planning consents.
Whilst there is no doubt that it would benefit from further modernisation and updating, the old adage of location, location, location rings true and Spicemill Cottage could be a sanctuary for the soul.
