The Property - The Old Post Office is a beautifully presented, 3 bedroom, semi-detached, period property found in the popular village of Edgton, which sits within the rural and picturesque South Shropshire countryside, close to the market town of Craven Arms and the Welsh/English border.

Thought to originally date circa mid-17th century and as the name suggests the former village post office, this unique cottage has been lovingly maintained by the current owner over more recent years and oozes character throughout including fireplaces, exposed timber beams, original front windows and the old post box, just to name a select few, whist also offering a pleasant blend of contemporary finishings to cater the needs of modern day living like the useful rear utility and downstairs W.C and the en-suite shower room to bedroom one. This deceptively spacious property offers 3 double bedrooms, 2 reception rooms and 2 bathrooms, as well as the impressive kitchen. Outside, there is off road parking for a couple of vehicles, a detached out-building/garage and a sizeable rear garden.

The accommodation spans across 2 floors and is made up on the ground floor of an entrance porch, fully-equipped kitchen, living room with a feature fireplace and inset wood-burning stove, dining room, which again features a wood-burning stove and has stairs rising off to the first floor, a utility area and a downstairs W.C. Doors from both the dining room and utility lead outside to the garden. On the first floor, an L-shaped landing gives way to the bathroom and all 3 bedrooms. Bedroom one boasts having a private en-suite shower room and a walk-in wardrobe/cupboard. Frontward views over the neighbouring fields can also be enjoyed.

Outside, a gravelled driveway provides off road parking for at least 2 vehicles and leads to a detached out-building/garage at the side of the cottage. To the rear, there is a sizeable, largely lawned, herbaceous garden stocked with a variety of mature shrubs and specimen trees, along with flowered/raised beds, planted borders and well-defined hedged and fenced boundaries. In addition, there is a paved area immediately at the back of the cottages, while there is also a timber framed, lean-to pergola, which poses as the perfect spot to relax or entertain.

The Location - The quaint rural village of Edgton is set in some of the most scenic countryside South Shropshire has to offer. The village is home to a small, but close knit community comprising some 24 houses with 3 working farms. The centre of the village has been declared a conservation area including the Church of St. Michael which is the hub of the community. Lying south of the River Onny the 3 market towns of Church Stretton, Bishops Castle and Craven Arms are all within easy reach. Church Stretton, nicknamed Little Switzerland, is nestled at the foot of Shropshire Hills. Enjoying direct access to over 20 square miles of National Trust land known as the Long Mynd Church Stretton is a haven for nature lovers and those of an active disposition. Bishops Castle lies west of Edgton and is situated 1.5 miles from the Welsh border. An eclectic town, Bishops Castle has an excellent selection of independent retailers, a range of eating establishments and public houses. It is also home to two micro-breweries namely the Three Tuns which is the oldest in the UK. Craven Arms is located on the A49 and is the easiest to access from Edgton. Offering a good range of facilities including a supermarket, doctors surgery, train station, butchers and its own array of independent shops Craven Arms offers everything you will need for day to day living. A little further distant you will find the historic market town of Ludlow and the county town of Shrewsbury. Ludlow is an architectural gem with a stunning array of Tudor, Georgian and Victorian properties. A gastronomic centre, Ludlow plays host to the annual food festival which attracts 20,000 visitors to the town. Shrewsbury, the birth place of Charles Darwin, is a vibrant and lively town with a very cosmopolitan yet traditional atmosphere. The town’s 660 listed buildings are complimented by a host of trendy and sophisticated bars and restaurants, the medieval streets do however still retain many classic public houses and dining establishments. Built on the River Severn the town hosts the annual Shrewsbury Flower Show which is one of the largest and oldest horticultural shows in the country attracting over 100,000 visitors.
