Stapleton Cottage Stapleton, Dorrington, Shrewsbury

Welcome to Stapleton cottage!

Tucked away on the edge of a quiet Shropshire hamlet, with the Stretton Hills rising in the distance and farmland rolling away on three sides, this four-bedroom country retreat blends timeless character with modern comfort, offering space to grow, entertain, unwind and create. Whether it's family life, weekend hosting, or the dream of a countryside work-from-home base, this home delivers on every front.

Inside

Walk through the oak front door and the first thing you'll notice is the sense of ease. Warm quarry tiles underfoot, timber beams overhead, and windows everywhere pulling in soft natural light and those incredible rural views.

There's room for everyone to spread out, with three beautiful reception rooms—a fireside drawing room for evening chats, a rustic lounge with a log burner for winter warmth, and a garden-facing dining room made for Sunday brunches and summer suppers. The kitchen is the heart of the home—a mix of shaker charm and modern utility, with a Rayburn for cold mornings, pantry storage, and a breakfast area that glows with light and opens directly to the garden.

Upstairs, you'll find four bedrooms, each one unique, with exposed timbers, country views, and thoughtful touches. Three of the bedrooms have their own en-suite bathrooms, and an additional shower room for the other. The layout flows beautifully for family life—but it would just as easily work for house guests, grown-up children, or multi-generational living.

Hidden away on the lower level, there's a two-room basement just waiting to become your wine cellar, art studio, or tucked-away office. The laundry room, and generous storage spaces throughout the home make country living easy and practical too.

Outside

Step outside and you'll feel it instantly: that peaceful country air, the privacy, and the space to do whatever your heart desires within the large grounds and gardens.

From morning coffee on the patio to evening swims in your outdoor heated pool, every part of the garden invites you to slow down, stay out a little longer, and live more deliberately. Kids can roam, dogs can run, and grown-ups can enjoy drinks on the deck as the sun sets over the fields.

A Place with Possibilities

Beyond the main house sits a large detached outbuilding/annexe— previously attained planning permission (Ref: 14/02566/FUL) (now lapsed)—offering endless potential as a holiday let, Airbnb, creative studio, or self-contained accommodation (subject to updated consents).

And if you're looking for a longer-term vision? A generous side plot, with lapsed outline planning permission for a detached home (Ref: 19/04907/OUT), gives you the freedom to build, extend, or simply bank a piece of land for the future - plot outline in photos.

Location

You're just minutes from the charming village of Dorrington, with fantastic amenities including a primary school rated good by Ofstead, village shop, a welcoming pub, doctors surgery, Crown Green bowls club, community gardens & recreational ground, children's play park and a historic church - and only a 10 minute drive from Shrewsbury's historic town centre. Excellent road links (A5, A49, M54) keep you connected, while nature trails, schools, and market towns are all within easy reach
