Description

Brimming with character, this charming two/three-bedroom cottage is tucked away in a peaceful, secluded spot in the heart of Telford.

Located in St Georges, the property enjoys close proximity to a wide range of local amenities, while Telford Town Centre with its excellent shopping and leisure facilities is only a short drive away. The railway station and the M54 are also within easy reach, making this an ideal location for both convenience and tranquillity.

A welcoming front door opens into a cosy lounge, complete with exposed beams and a log burner, perfect for relaxing evenings. A second sitting room, currently used as a bedroom, also features beams and plenty of character. The breakfast room includes a feature Rayburn (not in use), and there is a ground-floor bathroom along with a separate WC for added practicality.

The kitchen is housed within a delightful conservatory-style extension, offering a range of units and beautiful views over the rear garden.

Upstairs, you’ll find a generous double bedroom and an additional bedroom that has been cleverly partitioned—providing flexibility as either two separate bedrooms or one bedroom with an adjoining dressing room.

Outside, the property enjoys a traditional cottage garden to the front, with a double-width parking area opposite and additional gravelled parking to the side.

The rear garden truly has the "wow factor." Beginning with a paved area and side gate, steps lead up to a lovely seating space and a variety of useful sheds. Beyond this, a further garden with a lawn and paved terrace provides another relaxing spot. A gate then opens to an extensive lawned area with mature tree, including a Monkey Puzzle tree.
