Property description

Wood Cottage is an exceptional detached country home set in just under an acre of landscaped gardens, offering spacious family living and a rare self-contained annexe—ideal for multi-generational living. Beautifully presented throughout, the property combines rural charm with modern comfort, featuring five bedrooms, generous reception space, and a modern kitchen, all complemented by a double garage and established gardens.

Description - Wood Cottage offers prospective buyers a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial, updated country home with the added flexibility of a self-contained annexe. The property has been thoughtfully redecorated throughout, with new carpets fitted in the annexe, preserving much of its original charm. The mature gardens provide privacy and scope for further landscaping.

With its combination of spacious accommodation, attractive setting, and excellent transport links, Wood Cottage is perfectly suited to growing families, buyers seeking multi-generational living, or those desiring peaceful countryside living without sacrificing accessibility.



The Property - The main entrance opens into a welcoming hallway that provides access to both the main house and the self-contained annexe.

To the left, the spacious dual-aspect lounge offers a comfortable and inviting living area, centred around a wood-burning stove. Glazed doors lead out to the rear garden, while an adjoining conservatory provides the perfect spot to relax and enjoy views over the grounds. The separate dining room offers ample space for entertaining, with a utility room and cloakroom conveniently located off the main hall.

At the heart of the home is a bright and well-proportioned kitchen/breakfast room, fitted with a range of units and worktops. A range-style cooker (available by separate negotiation) adds to the farmhouse feel, with windows offering pleasant views to both the front and rear gardens.

Upstairs, the first floor accommodates four generously sized bedrooms. The master bedroom benefits from fitted wardrobes and an en-suite shower room, while the remaining three bedrooms are served by a spacious family bathroom.

The self-contained annexe, ideal for dependent relatives, guests, or rental potential, comprises an open-plan lounge/dining room, a fully fitted kitchen, and a double bedroom with fitted wardrobes and its own en-suite shower room—all accessed via a private entrance for complete independence.

Outside - The property is approached via a long private gravelled driveway, providing ample parking and turning space, and leads to a detached double garage with power and lighting. The gardens are a notable feature, providing an extensive lawn interspersed with mature fruit trees, well-stocked borders, a greenhouse, and a productive vegetable garden. A paved patio and raised ornamental pond offer superb settings for outdoor entertaining, all enjoying a backdrop of unspoilt open countryside. The total plot extends to just under one acre, offering privacy and excellent outdoor space for families and pets.



Situation - Wood Cottage enjoys a wonderfully private setting on the outskirts of Maesbrook, a charming North Shropshire hamlet amidst the picturesque Shropshire Marches. The property benefits from peace and tranquillity, whilst remaining highly accessible to the nearby market town of Oswestry (6 miles) and the county town of Shrewsbury (15 miles), both offering comprehensive amenities and schooling options.
