A charming, characterful house set in a small enclave of five dwellings in a rural yet accessible setting. Converted from a barn, it boasts a wealth of timber features to its 3 bedrooms, dressing room, en-suite and family bathroom, living room, open plan kitchen/dining room, hall and utility/WC. Outside are manageable and pretty gardens with a single garage and summer house.

General Remarks - Stable Cottage is one of just five private dwellings set in a rural setting just on the English side of the Shropshire/Powys border. Originally converted in the late eighties to a high standard, the house boasts some beautiful internal wall and ceiling timbers and oak latch doors, together with a pleasing layout to its three bedrooms, the master suite having a dressing room and en-suite bathroom, with a further bathroom and delightful landing space.
