About this property

This lovely mid-terrace cottage is situated just a couple of minutes’ walk from the centre of the charming Shropshire village of Clun, just seven miles from Bishop’s Castle. The cottage dates from the late 18th century and is full of wonderful period features. Enter directly into the beamed sitting room with its large inglenook fireplace boasting a fabulous woodburning stove. Take a couple of steps down into the kitchen which has a feature stone wall, a stone flagged floor and a Stanley oil range which also powers the heating in the cottage. To the back of the sitting room is a beautifully designed bathroom with stone walls, quarry tiles and a rain shower which sits over the centrally positioned freestanding bath. Climb the steep and winding cottage stairs to access the two bedrooms, one of which has a feature fireplace, wooden floors and a superb pine double bed which is guaranteed to provide a good night’s sleep. To the rear of the cottage is a small paved patio area where you can relax with a cup of coffee as you plan the day’s activities. Clun is a delightful Shropshire village which sits on the River Clun. It is a very important historic village due to its position on the Shropshire/Welsh border and it is home to the ruins of a Norman castle, a Saxon church and a 14th century bridge. Today, Clun is a popular location for walkers and cyclists and has a couple of pubs and a fine selection of independent shops. Within short drives are a number of wonderful Shropshire towns including Bishop’s Castle and Knighton. The medieval town of Ludlow is just a half hour’s drive and is well known for its culinary heritage with a wide selection of renowned restaurants, tea rooms and independent food stores. A beautiful terraced cottage with plenty of period features in the picturesque Shropshire village of Clun.

Clun is situated in the South Shropshire Hills in a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty close to the border of Wales. The Clun and Kerry Forests, Offa's Dyke and Kerry Ridgeway are all close by.

    Only downside is bathroom downstairs but everything else more than makes up for this

    What a lovely little place and very friendly welcoming village. The cottage was very well equipped, The Stanley took a bit of working out but nothing major and I actually quite liked the challenge

    Steps, stairs, a low door. The Stanley range needs a little attention to the instructions but we mastered it in no time. We loved our time here. For those that don't check a map, there is a road at the front of the cottage but it didn't impact on us at all. The parking is ad hoc but again we had no problems. Log burner is really easy to use and is so warm. The shower is a revelation! Neighbours and the villagers are awesome. A hidden gem. I hope this doesn't put up the price! Oh and as an after thought I desperately wanted to steal the chair in the living room. I resisted.
