The four-bedroom stone cottage on Old Post Office Lane in Trefonen, near Oswestry, is up for sale for offers in the region of £550,000.

But the price tag isn't just for the charming cottage - it includes another two-bedroom detached cottage that is currently being used as a holiday let.

The property also has various outbuildings and a barn, so there's plenty more opportunity for development.

The main home has parts dating back to the 18th century and is jam-packed with character features including a beamed ceiling throughout.

The lounge has a bow window to the front, parquet flooring, panelled walls and a feature stone fireplace with an inset log-burning stove.

Off the lounge is another reception room, currently being used as a dining and further sitting room, with original shutters and a back-to-back stone fireplace sharing the same log burner as the lounge.

A third reception room, the snug, provides a cosy sitting area with another log burner.

A good-sized kitchen features an Aga stove and brick and quarry tiled floors. A separate utility room with brick flooring has plumbing for a washing machine and leads onto a downstairs WC.

Upstairs, on the first floor, are four double bedrooms, and another smaller, bedroom that could be an office or storage. The master bedroom, with a vaulted ceiling, features a large dressing room and an en suite shower room.

A detached stone property, Little Barn, is included in the sale. The current owners run the property as a busy holiday cottage, but the property could be used for several uses.
