House For Sale £435,000
A beautifully appointed period cottage which has been refurbished over recent years to an exacting standard with an incredibly high level or appointment and finishing in a rural, yet easily accessible, Shropshire hamlet with lovely gardens and beautiful views.
Albrighton: 3.5 miles, Telford: 8.5 miles, Wolverhampton: 10.5 miles, Birmingham: 26 miles, M54 J3: 1 mile - distances approximate
Location - The Little House stands at the heart of Tong Norton which is a small hamlet amidst picturesque, rolling Shropshire countryside with lovely views to both the front and rear across open paddocks, fields and farmland.
The area benefits from excellent communications with good road and rail links. The A5 and A41 corridors are nearby and the motorway network is easily accessible via the M54 which facilitates fast access to Birmingham, Telford and the entire industrial West Midlands.
Everyday shopping facilities are available within the nearby village of Albrighton together with further amenities provided by the historic market town of Newport, Telford and Wolverhampton City Centre. Furthermore the area is well served by schooling in both sectors.
Description - The Little House is an attractive, period residence with elevations of architectural merit. Approximately 400 years ago the next door property was a public house and, approximately 200 years ago, The Little House was built as a private residence for the landlord. It was extended some 100 years ago to the rear to enhance the scope of the accommodation provided and has been greatly enhanced during the last recent years to provide a home of enormous charm and calibre.
The windows have been replaced by fine, double glazed units, the wiring was upgraded where needed, solid hard wood doors were fitted internally, a combination boiler installed, a garage constructed, new kitchen and bathroom suites fitted and the house has been redecorated throughout.
At the time of refurbishment no expense was spared and it is unusual to find a property that has been finished to such a high standard which creates a living environment of eminent quality.
Accommodation - A six panelled front door set within a portico surround with over lights opens into the HALL with stairs rising to the first floor. There is a SITTING ROOM with a sash window to the front with sliding shutters, original storage cupboards and a decorative white painted fireplace. The LOUNGE has a sash window to the front with sliding shutters, a cast iron solid fuel burning stove set within an exposed brick recessed fireplace, a useful store cupboard with access to the CELLAR and three steps and oak balustrading leading to the DINING ROOM with double glazed side doors, a decorative cast iron fireplace and a well appointed GUEST CLOAKROOM.
