Jay Cottage is a most appealing semi-detached Victorian cottage, understood to date from around 1875, which has been thoughtfully extended and carefully maintained over time. The property occupies a generous plot of approximately one third of an acre and enjoys a peaceful position within this well-regarded south Shropshire village.
The cottage is approached via gated access from Back Lane, opening onto a gravelled driveway which provides parking and access to a range of useful outbuildings. The attractive red brick elevations, pitched tiled roof and climbing planting give the property a well-established and welcoming appearance, sitting comfortably within its mature garden setting.
The accommodation is well arranged and successfully combines period character with practical and versatile living space. A porch provides a useful entrance space and leads into the central hall, from which the principal rooms are accessed. The sitting room offers a cosy retreat, centred around a fireplace housing a natural gas log effect stove, while a separate dining room provides an excellent space for entertaining and everyday family use. In addition, a rear porch provides a practical link between the house and garden, offering useful everyday space and currently accommodating a fridge freezer.
The kitchen is well proportioned and fitted with a range of units, complementary work surfaces and a freestanding dual fuel cooker and dishwasher. There is space for informal dining and pleasant views across the garden, making it a sociable and functional room. A ground floor wet room with hand basin and WC completes the downstairs accommodation.
To the first floor, the landing gives access to three bedrooms, two of which benefit from built-in wardrobes, along with a family bathroom. The rooms enjoy attractive outlooks over the gardens and surrounding countryside, adding to the overall sense of tranquillity. The property benefits from mains gas central heating run on natural gas, and also benefits from dedicated satellite and broadband.
The gardens are a particular highlight of Jay Cottage. Predominantly laid to lawn, they are interspersed with well-stocked borders, mature shrubs and a variety of established trees, providing colour and interest throughout the year. A charming pond forms an attractive focal point, while a paved terrace offers an ideal space for outdoor dining and relaxation. Productive garden areas and a greenhouse will appeal to keen gardeners.
The property benefits from an excellent range of outbuildings, offering exceptional flexibility. These include The Eatery and The Cabin, both suitable for a variety of uses such as home working, studio space or hobbies, together with a potting shed and useful storage areas, this also includes its own dedicated Satellite and Broadband connection and solar panels which also serve the house. In addition, there is a detached garage/carport incorporating a separate utility room, providing space for laundry appliances, further storage and everyday practical needs.
Jay Cottage is a charming and characterful home offering generous gardens, versatile outbuildings and an attractive village setting.
