The Property - A once in a life time opportunity to purchase a beautifully presented, 3 bedroom, detached, part-thatched, country cottage along with a detached fully renovated and self-contained 2 bedroom/en-suite barn conversion in grounds stretching to approx. 1.75 acres, located in a tranquil and secluded position in South Shropshire just outside the popular village of Onibury. Rural but by no means isolated, Brandy Bottom Cottage is located between the historic town of Ludlow and market town of Craven Arms, allowing the convenience of town centre facilities nearby as well as uninterrupted countryside living.

Dating back in parts to circa 1650, Brandy Bottom Cottage is a quite stunning, quintessential home which offers 3 bedrooms, 3 spacious reception rooms and 2 bathrooms, along with a superb farmhouse style breakfast kitchen, large sun room and separate cloak and utility rooms. Retaining original features and offering a pleasant blend of contemporary finishings, the cottage has been lovingly maintained and is peacefully and privately positioned within encompassing gardens, bordered by untouched countryside and woodland. The dwelling itself is of part stone, part brick construction with the roof being around 40% thatched.

Brandy Bottom Barn was converted in 2011 into a fabulous, completely self-contained annexe offering 2 en-suite double bedrooms, a kitchen diner and a reception room. The barn could be a very profitable side line business as a holiday let or alternatively, for those looking for multi-generational living, a superb home for an elderly relative maintaining sole independence, but also conveniently being on the doorstep of the cottage if assistance is ever required.

Outside, the gated driveway passes a detached, wooden framed garage (8.5m x 4.7m), which also offers the useful addition of a sizeable storage/workshop room to the rear and leads to a parking area in front of the cottage and barn with space for numerous vehicles. The front and side gardens directly surrounding the cottage are largely gravelled and stocked with a variety of mature shrubs and specimen trees. A gate allows access into the rear field, which is currently split into 2 parcels. Behind the barn finds a wild meadowed area and further formal gardens where the owners have created splendid seating areas strategically positioned to enjoy stunning countryside views. One such area includes a unique, honeycomb shaped timber shelter, which poses as the perfect spot to sit back and relax.

The property is located along a secluded wooded valley in the heart of the rural Shropshire countryside renowned for its outstanding natural beauty and is accessed down a privately maintained part tarmac/stone unadopted track. The grounds and surroundings are a true haven for wildlife and ideal for nature enthusiasts with occasional visits from animals and birds such as deer, foxes, owls and woodpeckers to name only a select few, while a small pond found at the front of the cottage also attracts a host of other creatures including herons, frogs and many other species of bird and butterflies. For those who enjoy walking, the property also offers easy access out to nearby footpaths, leading you on a rural adventure.

The picturesque village borders the parishes of Clungunford, Stokesay (now part of Craven Arms parish), Bromfield, Culmington and Stanton Lacy. Onibury is home to a 14th century St Micheal’s parish church, which like many of the houses in the area add to the historic and traditional setting. The property is nestled between the two busy towns of historic Ludlow (approx. 7 miles south) and Craven Arms (approx. 5 miles north), which both offer an excellent range of independent retailers and a number of supermarkets chains, a variety of dining establishments and public houses, a host of community clubs and societies and useful transport links via bus and railway stations.
