Set in the highly regarded and picturesque hamlet of Kinton, nestled almost equidistant between Shrewsbury and Oswestry, this beautifully restored country cottage offers a rare blend of charm, modern comfort, and idyllic surroundings.
Lovingly maintained and upgraded by the current owners 2 Castle Cottages, boasts modern finishes throughout while retaining all the character you’d expect from a cottage of this style.
Inside, the property opens into a light-filled open-plan kitchen and living area, perfectly designed for everyday family life and entertaining alike. The kitchen is fitted with high-quality Neff appliances, including two ovens, offering both style and functionality for keen cooks. From the dining area, newly installed bifold doors lead seamlessly out to the patio, creating a wonderful flow between indoor and outdoor living. A separate reception room, complete with a cosy wood-burning stove, provides the ideal spot to relax, while a downstairs bathroom and separate utility area add practicality.
Upstairs, you’ll find four well-proportioned bedrooms and a stylish family bathroom, a rarity for a home of this type and price point, making it especially appealing to both families and downsizers seeking space for visiting guests.
Set within private grounds just shy of 1/4 acres, the garden is both manageable and delightful, with lovely views towards the Breidden Hills and Rodney’s Pillar. A handy garden shed adds useful storage, while the addition of a newly built two-car port with EV charger enhances the appeal further.
The setting is private yet welcoming, with a strong sense of community within the hamlet. For those seeking countryside living without isolation, Kinton offers the perfect balance.
Location:
Despite its tranquil rural setting, Kinton offers superb transport links. Positioned around 9 miles north of Shrewsbury and 8 miles south of Oswestry, the property is just 1.5 miles from the A5, providing swift connections to Chester, the West Midlands, and the wider motorway network.
The nearby village of Nesscliffe caters for day-to-day needs with a range of local amenities, including welcoming public houses and well-regarded primary schools. For families, the area also boasts excellent educational options, with respected independent schools such as Packwood Haugh, Adcote, Moreton Hall, Oswestry School, Shrewsbury High School, and Prestfelde all within easy reach. In addition, strong state education choices are available nearby, including The Corbett School and St Andrew’s Primary.
Directions:
From Shrewsbury, take the A5 north towards Oswestry. Approximately 4 miles beyond Shrewsbury, at the Nesscliffe bypass, turn right into Nesscliffe village. Continue for approximately ½ a mile before turning left towards Kinton. Proceed into the village, where Kinton Manor will be found on the left-hand side.
This home is a true gem for those wanting to downsize without compromise, or for families looking for a beautifully set home within a warm and welcoming community.
