Nestled among Shropshire’s remarkable open countryside, Tong Norton is a small hamlet situated just over 3 miles from both Shifnal and Albrighton, and within 8 miles of the larger conurbation of Telford and 10 miles from Wolverhampton. Both destinations offer rail links ideal for commuters, and this ancient rural settlement is also positioned close to both the A41 for easy access into Wolverhampton and the M54. Within these picturesque and peaceful surroundings, Willow Cottage occupies a large plot with approximately one acre of South facing grounds and has been considerably improved and extended within the last 10 years to a very high specification. A charming, modern family home, the property is characterised by tactile solid oak carpentry, characterful sandstone and aged timber beams, decorated in calming neutral tones throughout to create a light yet cosy ambience. At the centre of the property, one enters into the large dining hall, greatly enhanced by one of several large inglenook fireplaces with wood-burning stoves. In addition, the lounge and unusually dry, warm and well-presented wine cellar offer a variety of versatile reception areas which complement the vast open-plan kitchen and family area at the rear of the property, opening out onto the sunny rear patio with wood-fired pizza oven. Four bedrooms are available, including the lovely master en suite and a second en suite bedroom with dressing area. The stunning grounds envelope the property, encompassing a very attractive annex which currently houses a large open-plan office with a separate kitchen area and WC. In addition to the ample driveway parking, the detached double garage offers further secure parking with a workshop space at the rear, demonstrating the enormous versatility of this fabulous country retreat.
