Property description

Do you crave a big garden? Do you crave open countryside all around? Do you crave to live in a detached country cottage? If the answer to all three of these questions is 'yes', then there is a good chance that Hawthorn Cottage is the property for you! It certainly occupies a good-sized plot and there are uninterrupted views over open countryside. To cap it all, this is a good sized family home, especially attractive to those with both children and pets. Those with a number of vehicles are sure to appreciate the driveway which provides parking for several vehicles, in addition to double timber gates which lead into the rear garden, with ample space for parking a boat or caravan and a medium sized trailer. An internal inspection is certainly recommended and the comfortable sitting room is characterised by a full height exposed brick fireplace with log burning stove and access from here to the rear sun room. The separate dining room leads directly into the kitchen and there is a lovely conservatory addition which takes full advantage of the delightful views across the garden and the countryside. Another great thing to point out is that you don't need to go outside to get to the garage as it can be directly accessed from the house. Upstairs, the master bedroom has an en-suite shower room and there are three further bedrooms, plus a family bathroom. Outside, there are useful sheds, the larger double unit being insulated and having a 13 amp power supply for studio use. A large decked pergola is attached to the side of the conservatory at the rear of the lounge, along with an external lighting socket. This, combined with a pond stocked with water lilies and fountain/waterfall feature, makes it a perfect place in which to sit and relax during the summer months. There are trees and fencing all around the fully accessible perimeter of the property.........perfect! The cottage fronts onto a 'B' class road on the edge of the village and is well place for local amenities as well as relatively speedy access by car into nearby Whitchurch, Wem, Shrewsbury and Market Drayton.
