Charming Grade II listed Character Cottage in the Heart of Coalbrookdale

Nestled within the historic and highly sought-after village of Coalbrookdale, this delightful two-bedroom mid-terrace cottage beautifully combines period charm with practical modern living. Full of character throughout, the property features exposed beams, traditional brick fireplaces and a cosy wood-burning stove, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere from the moment you step inside.

The ground floor opens into the sitting room which enjoys a wealth of character, centred around the attractive inglenook-style fireplace with wood burning stove. A door leads through to a kitchen breakfast room with door out to side access. To the first floor are two well-proportioned bedrooms together with a contemporary shower room.

Externally, the property benefits from a charming cottage-style garden to the front, to the rear are steps up to the garden which can also be accessed from a lane at the rear.

The retaining wall for the garden at the rear of the property has collapsed against the property and will need to be rebuilt. The necessary checks should be carried out into the rebuilding of the wall and any permissions required as well as viewing the legal pack.

Location – Darby Road, Coalbrookdale
Darby Road is situated in the heart of historic Coalbrookdale, one of Shropshire’s most picturesque and culturally significant locations. Famous as the birthplace of the Industrial Revolution and forming part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Ironbridge Gorge, the area offers a unique blend of heritage, countryside and community living. Residents enjoy immediate access to woodland walks, riverside paths and an array of local attractions including museums, cafés, traditional pubs and independent shops. The nearby towns of Ironbridge and Madeley provide a wider range of everyday amenities, schooling and leisure facilities.

Wider Area & Transport Links
Coalbrookdale is well positioned for commuting across Shropshire and the West Midlands. The property enjoys convenient access to Telford town centre, approximately 15 minutes away, where there is a comprehensive range of retail, business and recreational facilities. Telford also provides access to both rail and motorway national networks. Despite its accessibility, the area retains a tranquil semi-rural feel surrounded by beautiful countryside and the dramatic landscape of the Ironbridge Gorge.
