About this property
Tucked away in the peaceful hamlet of Colemere, just 3 miles from the charming market town of Ellesmere, this beautifully refurbished farm cottage is the perfect countryside retreat for families – including four-legged friends. Just 150 metres from the doorstep, Colemere Country Park offers serene lakeside walks, cycling trails and abundant wildlife, with scenic picnic spots for outdoor relaxation. Stroll along the canal towpath into Ellesmere, where you can hire a boat, fish on the largest mere in North Shropshire, or enjoy the town’s welcoming pubs and eateries. Venture further afield to Llangollen for a horse-drawn canal ride, explore historic Shrewsbury’s medieval streets, or hop aboard a steam train in Welshpool. Nature lovers will adore Whixall Moss, a haven for birdwatching, while the rolling landscapes of the Shropshire Hills National Landscape provide endless hiking and cycling opportunities.
Stepping through the back door of this charming property, you’re welcomed by a practical utility room and WC, perfect for rinsing off muddy boots or drying off after a day of exploring. From here, the cottage opens into a stunning, newly fitted kitchen, seamlessly flowing into the living/dining area – the social heart of the home. Large windows flood the space with natural light, offering lovely garden views in summer, while the plush sofa and open fire create a wonderfully cosy retreat for colder evenings. The hallway leads to an inviting second reception room at the front of the property, complete with comfortable seating, a Smart TV, and a second open fire – offering an ideal hideaway for children or those seeking a little space to unwind. Upstairs, three beautifully styled bedrooms await – a master king-size room with a sleek en-suite shower room, a charming king-size, and a cosy twin room. A new and well-appointed family bathroom boasts a waterfall shower over the bath, perfect for unwinding after a day of adventure.
Surrounding the cottage on three sides, the spacious south-facing garden is a true suntrap, offering the perfect setting for relaxation and family gatherings. Fully enclosed for privacy and peace of mind, it provides ample space for children and pets to play freely. A range of outdoor furniture invites you to soak up the sunshine throughout the day, whether enjoying a leisurely breakfast, an al fresco lunch, or a sunset drink. The cottage also benefits from off-road, private parking for three cars.
