Property description

A charming country cottage with spectacular gardens in a sought after and convenient Shropshire village.

LOCATION
Hall Cottage lies off Folley Road which runs into the middle of Ackleton, a pretty and popular Shropshire village. Ackleton is conveniently situated to access a wide range of local, everyday shopping facilities within the village centres of both Albrighton and Pattingham and has the benefit of a small convenience store being located nearby at Rudge Heath.

Ackleton is ideally located with road access to Telford, Bridgnorth and Wolverhampton whilst the M54 facilitates access to Birmingham and the industrial West Midlands.

The area is well served by schooling with a highly regarded Primary School in Worfield, Birchfield Preparatory School in Albrighton and several secondary schools in both sectors being within reasonable reach.

Hall Cottage is a charming country house standing on the fringes of the village centre. The house has a wide lane side frontage with cream-painted, rendered elevations and ornamental shutters to the first floor. One of the principal features of the property is its spectacular gardens which have been thoughtfully landscaped and nurtured over many years to provide an outstanding backdrop of some beauty. The gardens are laid out in a fine fashion and are an undoubted delight.

Hall Cottage itself has been well maintained during recent years and is well presented throughout. The accommodation is particularly flexible and provides an ideal blend of period character and modern convenience and is double glazed throughout.
