Full Description
Like the fruit from which it takes its name, Gooseberry Cottage is a rare find.

The Property
Introducing Gooseberry Cottage, which is a charming, mid-terraced period cottage occupying a convenient position within the popular residential area of Lawley Village, Telford. Thought to date back circa the early 18th Century and originally forming part of a farmhouse, this characterful home enjoys a delightful blend of historic charm, practical living accommodation and surprisingly generous outside space.
Available to purchase with no upward chain, Gooseberry Cottage is ideally situated for those seeking a property with easy access to both road and rail networks and is conveniently located approximately 1 mile from the M54 motorway, whilst still enjoying a peaceful setting. The property offers 2 bedrooms, a first floor bathroom, a kitchen and useful utility/store and an open-plan living/dining room, whilst outside there is a sizeable private garden and ample off-road parking, all of which combine to make this a truly unique opportunity.
Retaining a wealth of original features, the cottage showcases exposed ceiling beams, quarry tiled flooring and a feature fireplace complete with inset wood-burning stove, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere throughout. The accommodation is arranged across 2 storeys and on the ground floor is made up of an open-plan living/dining room, which serves as the heart of the home and provides ample space for both relaxing and entertaining. Positioned off the living/dining room is a useful utility/store room, whilst the fitted kitchen is located to the rear of the property and provides access out to the rear courtyard. Stairs rise from the living area to the first floor accommodation. On the first floor, a landing area gives way to the 2 bedrooms and the bathroom. Bedroom one is a generous double room enjoying pleasant views and includes a useful over stairs storage cupboard, whilst bedroom two offers flexibility for use as a guest room, nursery or home office and features a sizeable built-in wardrobe. Completing the accommodation is the bathroom, fitted with a white suite comprising a bath with shower over, wash hand basin and W.C.
Outside, the property is approached via a gated gravelled driveway, which provides ample off-road parking for up to 4 vehicles, a rare and highly desirable feature for a property of this age and character. From the parking area, gravelled pathways lead through the property's sizeable private front garden, which is undoubtedly one of Gooseberry Cottage's most impressive attributes. Beautifully established and well stocked with a wide variety of mature shrubs, specimen trees and flowering plants, the garden offers a wonderful degree of privacy and seclusion. There are lawned sections, well-tended borders and productive growing areas, together with a greenhouse, log-store and a useful timber shed, making the space ideal for keen gardeners and those wishing to enjoy the outdoors. Continuing through the garden, the pathway leads to an attractive paved seating area positioned directly outside the cottage frontage, which provides a delightful spot to sit back and relax within the warmer months of the year. To the rear, a courtyard garden offers additional outside space and a practical area for day-to-day use.
Combining period charm, fascinating history and excellent outside space, Gooseberry Cottage offers an increasingly rare opportunity to acquire a character property with extensive gardens and ample parking, all within easy reach of Telford's many amenities and the M54.
