Description

Occupying an elevated position with far reaching views across its own land and gardens, the property extends to approximately four acres in total. The cottage itself sits proudly within around 1.4 acres of established grounds that wrap around the home, creating a wonderful sense of privacy and space. The setting is exceptional. Mature shrub borders, fruit trees and a useful outbuilding provide both charm and practicality, while across from the home, you can enjoy further areas of wildflowers and the gentle sound of the River Morda. A substantial pond enhances the landscape, creating a haven for wildlife and an idyllic environment for those seeking a smallholding lifestyle, space for animals, or simply a magical place for children to explore and grow.

Internally, the home is warm, characterful and beautifully reconfigured by the current owners. The original kitchen has been thoughtfully relocated to create a superb sitting kitchen, complete with a wood burner that forms the heart of the home. This is a true communal space, perfect for entertaining family and friends throughout the seasons. The reconfiguration has also allowed for the addition of a generous utility room, enhancing everyday practicality.

The main lounge is equally impressive, featuring an inglenook fireplace with wood burner, offering a cosy retreat during the cooler months. A ground-floor shower room and WC provide further convenience.

Upstairs, there are three well proportioned double bedrooms, including an impressive 19'5 principal bedroom. A large family bathroom serves the remaining bedrooms, and an additional first floor laundry room with separate WC adds flexibility for modern family living. From the first floor you truly appreciate the elevated setting, particularly from the private rear balcony, an exceptional place to sit and enjoy a spring or summer evening overlooking your land.

Spring Cottage is a well-loved home, ready for its next custodians to move straight in while embracing the lifestyle it offers.

Despite its peaceful and secluded feel, the property is ideally positioned just three miles from Oswestry and approximately two miles from Trefonen, a thriving village with a shop and post office, primary school, public house and strong sense of community. Oswestry itself provides an excellent range of independent shops, supermarkets, restaurants and schools, alongside leisure facilities, a traditional market hall and the beautiful Cae Glas Park.

For those drawn to the outdoors, the location is outstanding. In addition to Offa's Dyke Path, there are countless nearby footpaths, bridleways and cycle routes, including the Old Racecourse and surrounding woodland, with the Welsh hills just beyond offering further adventure.

Transport connections are also highly convenient. The A5 provides links towards Chester and the Midlands, while the A483 connects into Mid Wales. Gobowen Station offers direct rail services to Shrewsbury, Birmingham and Crewe, making this a rare opportunity to enjoy rural living without isolation.

Spring Cottage represents an exceptional opportunity for buyers seeking a genuine lifestyle change. A charming country home, generous land, breathtaking surroundings and connectivity combine to create something truly special.
