Description
6 Shelton Oak Cottage is an idyllic timber-framed terraced cottage, forming the central property of a row of three cottages believed to date back to the late 17th century. The property is positioned towards the end of a private driveway, creating a quiet and secluded atmosphere while remaining only a short distance from Shrewsbury town centre.

The property was comprehensively renovated in 2023, including a new roof and insulation to improve energy efficiency, while remaining sympathetic to its listed status. The refurbishment also included a full rewire and complete plumbing installation.

The property is approached from the shared driveway through a wrought iron pedestrian garden gate, with a brick pathway leading to the front door. Opening into the living room, a charming reception space with beautiful, exposed timber-framed walls and a central, feature fireplace with inset electric fire.

From the living room, stairs rise to the first floor, while the newly fitted kitchen is positioned to the rear. The kitchen is well planned with a range of base and wall-mounted units, oak worktops, an integrated dishwasher, undercounter fan oven and hob, together with space and plumbing for a washing machine. The mains gas boiler is housed within a kitchen cupboard and is connected to a Hive smart heating system. A back door leads from the kitchen out to the rear cobbled courtyard, a perfect space for alfresco dining.

On the first floor, the large double bedroom is complete with exposed timbers, a part-vaulted ceiling and a fitted wardrobe hanging rail. The bathroom is accessed from the landing and includes a timber-paneled bath, complementing the character of the exposed beams. A useful loft storage area is accessed from the bathroom.

The property benefits from a brick-built garage located at the end of the terrace, providing secure parking for one car, additional storage and WC.
