Mardu, Craven Arms

This detached cottage offers considerable character, with white rendered elevations, traditional multi-pane windows, dormer windows and established climbing plants across the frontage. The accommodation is arranged over two floors and includes three bedrooms, with one positioned on the ground floor, making the layout particularly flexible.

The front door opens directly into a substantial living room, where exposed ceiling beams, painted stone walls and windows to two elevations create a distinctive and welcoming space. A broad inglenook-style fireplace houses a stove, while the staircase rises openly from the room to the first-floor accommodation.

The kitchen and breakfast room is generously proportioned, providing ample space for a full dining table alongside a range of fitted timber units, work surfaces and an inset sink. Exposed ceiling beams continue the cottage character, while a wide window overlooks the garden and brings good natural light into the room. A door provides direct access outside.

A hall leads to the ground-floor bedroom, which is notably spacious and benefits from windows to several elevations. Its position and generous proportions make it suitable as a principal bedroom, guest room or additional reception space, depending on the requirements of the next owner.

The ground-floor facilities include a shower area and adjoining WC, with space and plumbing for a washing machine. The accommodation would benefit from some updating, providing an opportunity for the next owner to personalise the property to their own requirements.

The first floor is reached by an open staircase rising from the living room. Two further bedrooms occupy this level, both displaying further character through exposed beams, cottage windows and sections of sloping ceiling. The bedroom positioned at the top of the stairs benefits from windows to both the front and rear, while the adjoining bedroom provides space for twin beds or could work equally well as a study or hobby room.

Outside, the property is surrounded by established gardens, with lawned areas, mature trees, hedging and planted borders creating a private and attractive setting. There are several places for outdoor seating, together with useful timber sheds and a covered structure incorporating an old stone well.

The gardens extend around the cottage and open towards a substantial grassed area bordered by mature trees and post-and-rail fencing. This adds greatly to the rural character of the setting and provides excellent space for recreation, gardening or other outdoor interests.
