Stunning cottage near Bridgnorth that featured on property renovation TV series is listed for sale

Walnut Tree Cottage in the Hamlet of Midwinters near Bridgnorth was featured on HGTV's 'My Dream Derelict Home' when it was remodelled in 2012/13

The cottage, that is believed to date back to 1795 and thought to be associated with Thomas Crump who was a local mine owner and philanthropist, featured on episode 12 of the series.

The current owners have renovated and modernised the cottage to an "exemplary standard", and the home is designed to be as economically and environmentally friendly as possible. 

Walnut Tree Cottage has hit the market with a guide price of £1 million with Savills estate agents.

The cottage offers an idyllic lifestyle and is set in approximately 6.76 acres of land, including paddocks. The listing adds that a separate barn - that is currently used as a garden store - has potential for conversion, subject to planning consents. 

The property boasts beautiful expansive gardens and grounds to enjoy while the cottage itself features a balcony where the homeowner can sit and enjoy the view and fabulous sunsets and sunrises. 

The listing says: "Walnut Tree Cottage is the perfect example of an exemplary renovation, which offers the most idyllic lifestyle and was featured on 'My Dream Derelict Home' when it was remodelled in 2012/13. The house is made up of a perfect combination of organic materials including original stone work and green oak, which work beautifully together. 

"The current owners have very thoughtfully and sympathetically renovated the property by using reclaimed products and natural stone, offering the most wonderful home.

"The original cottage dates to 1795 and is thought to be associated with Thomas Crump, who was a local mine owner and philanthropist. The current owners have added conventional and green oak timber framed extensions to the original cottage. There is stone flooring throughout the ground floor and the whole property is fitted with underfloor heating.

"It is designed to be economically and environmentally sympathetic, with a ground source heat pump, which utilises a large ground collector and two 80 metre boreholes as heat sources."

The 'oak room' is flooded with natural light and provides a calming space to relax. There are French doors leading onto a balcony where there are views of the Brown Clee and surrounding countryside.

Walnut Tree Cottage is situated in 6.76 acres of gardens and paddocks, which include an orchard. Within the land are natural springs which feed the property's ponds. 

Electric wooden gates open onto a gravel parking area and driveway that features a car port. 

"A wicket gate provides access to the main house door, and a gravel path meanders through the garden where there are planted beds and borders, areas of lawn, silver birch trees, a number of seating areas and a central fountain," the listing adds.

"Wicket gates provide access into the pastureland, to the small grove of trees around the well/spring and to both ponds. There are raised vegetable beds and a greenhouse along with access to the cellar. 

"Pretty rose beds border the back of the house and there is a BBQ and terrace area for al fresco dining or enjoying the wonderful sunsets. The current owners have built a sunken firepit with stone seating for six people.

"An old barn is separated into three bays, two of which are accessible from the garden and are currently used as a garden store and tool shed. This building has the potential for conversion, subject to the necessary planning permission and the current owner has had architects plans drawn up. 

"To the bottom of the middle paddock is a pond, fed by a stream, and a small waterfall, which is home to ducks and moorhens. There are two separate causeways over the stream for tractor access and a glorious walnut tree, hence the name Walnut Tree Cottage.

"The orchard is planted with damson, plum, pear and quince trees and alongside is an enclosed and electric fenced chicken run."
