Location

The Medieval town of Much Wenlock is situated in the beautiful countryside of Shropshire, near to the National Trust Wenlock Edge. The town offers beautiful architecture steeped in history.

Overview

The cottage stands in a quiet position with pedestrian access to the High Street. Parking can be at the front of the property on the lane or there is off road private parking accessed through The Raven Hotel car park off Barrow Street. The property appears to be in good order and was previously purchased and renovated by The Raven Hotel to create extra guest accommodation. With the usual fire regulations and change of consent, 6 large bedrooms all with en-suite facilities served the hotel. During the pandemic (in 2021) a change of use kept the layout and was converted into a local business hub to serve 6 small business's which became successful.

With the Hotel now being sold, the property is looking for a new owner to continue with the business hub, alternatively an easy conversion into holiday let accommodation, or indeed with planning consent convert back into one large residential dwelling.

Accommodation

With over 2000sq.ft covering the ground and first floors, the layout is in modern condition with double glazed windows comprising of 6 large rooms - each having en-suite facilities, that are being used as kitchen/bathroom areas.

Outside

Externally there is a private driveway and a pretty walled courtyard garden that is currently paved.
