About this property
Cobblers Cottage is a characterful Grade II listed cottage situated in the heart of Whitchurch, Shropshire, and is an inviting base for families and friends keen to discover the market town and surrounding countryside. Take in the historic character of your three-storey retreat before entering into the hallway, where painted brick walls immediately introduce the cottage's individual style. Step up into the sitting room and settle onto the sofa or armchair beneath the exposed beams, with the inglenook fireplace and woodburning stove creating a striking focal point. Continue into the kitchen/diner and prepare dinner using the ample amenities provided. Charming tiles, a beam overhead and stylish taps complement the cottage's period character, while hearty meals can be enjoyed at the drop-leaf dining table.
There is a handy utility, ideal for longer stays. Outside, make the most of he quaint courtyard by enjoying morning coffee in the sunshine before heading out to explore. When sleep calls, the double bedroom offers plenty of wardrobe space, an armchair and exposed beams overhead, providing a restful room in which to unpack and settle down for the night. From here, climb two wooden steps into the adjoining single bedroom, where a vaulted ceiling, exposed timbers and an eye-catching chandelier lend plenty of personality. Both bedrooms are serviced by a bathroom with the option of a warm shower or a refreshing soak in the tub.
Climb the stairs to reach the second-floor super-king-size bedroom tucked into the eaves, making an impressive final bedroom. Whitchurch offers plenty to discover close to the cottage, with a choice of walks, attractions and places to dine. Follow the Sandstone Trail, which begins in the village, or enjoy a stroll along the canal, before discovering the wildlife at Brown Moss Nature Reserve or spending a day by the water at Alderford Lake.
