DESCRIPTION
Chestnut Cottage is a beautifully restored detached former Duke of Sutherland estate cottage, blending period charm with the comforts of modern family living. Dating from around 1880 and thoughtfully extended over the years, the property offers spacious and versatile accommodation, attractive south-facing gardens and a peaceful semi-rural setting.

Approached via a generous gravel driveway providing ample parking, the cottage immediately impresses with its picturesque fa硤e, adorned with climbing roses and mature planting. Inside, the home retains a wealth of character while offering the practical layout required for contemporary living.

The welcoming entrance hall leads to a bright dining room overlooking the front garden and a spacious sitting room, where a striking floor-to-ceiling window fills the space with natural light. At the heart of the home is the stylish kitchen, fitted with solid wood worktops and complemented by a useful utility room and cloakroom. A cosy breakfast room with a multi-fuel burner set within an inglenook fireplace provides the perfect place to gather with family and friends throughout the seasons.

A separate home office with its own independent entrance offers excellent flexibility for remote working, running a business from home or creating a dedicated hobby space.

Upstairs, exposed beams and vaulted ceilings add to the cottage's character. The principal bedroom benefits from an ensuite shower room, while three further bedrooms and a family bathroom with a freestanding roll-top bath provide comfortable accommodation for growing families and visiting guests.

Outside, the gardens are a particular highlight. South-facing and beautifully established, they offer a wonderful balance of open lawn, colourful borders, vegetable beds and secluded seating areas. A covered decked entertaining space allows for outdoor dining and relaxation throughout much of the year.

The property is further enhanced by a range of useful outbuildings including a workshop with mains electricity, potting shed and additional garden stores, making it an ideal home for gardeners, hobbyists and those requiring extra storage.

Combining heritage, character and modern convenience, Chestnut Cottage offers a rare opportunity to enjoy country-style living within easy reach of Wellington, Telford and Shrewsbury.
