1 New Cottages is a breathtakingly pretty and particularly charming, semi-detached, country cottage idyllically situated within gardens extending to over a third of an acre in the renowned, north Shropshire hamlet of Colemere, now boasting exquisite internal presentation following on from a recent comprehensive yet sympathetic renovation.

The property, which has undergone a most comprehensive range of sympathetic restoration and modernisation works to enhance and highlight the period charm of the building, now comprises, on the ground floor, a Kitchen, Lounge/Dining Room, and Utility Room, together with, to the first floor, two Bedrooms and a family Bathroom.

Externally, the property is complimented by gardens extending, in all, to over a third of an acre which comprise a gravelled parking and turning circle with space for a number of vehicles, a generous lawned area, and a traditional cobbled path which leads to a number of useful brick-built outbuildings, one of which is the original Laundry Room, which may represent an opportunity for development into versatile further usages (PP permitting). The gardens also contain, most unusually, a working well.
