Longnor 3 miles. With its lovely rural location in Newtown, three miles from the delightful village of Longnor, you can enjoy charming countryside views from all aspects of this characterful, detached stone cottage. School House Cottage is a cosy romantic retreat with a woodburner to snuggle up in front of and a roll-top bath if you fancy a luxurious soak after a long day. Step outside and take a seat in the private patio, with a glass of whatever you fancy, and watch the sun set on the uninterrupted views of the Staffordshire Peak District. With stone floor and beams, the ground floor is open plan with a well-equipped modern kitchen, dining table and comfortable lounge area with the woodburner set in a stone hearth fireplace.
