About this home

Set within an impressive plot of approximately a third of an acre in the sought after Kingsland Valley, Acorn & Willow Cottages offer a rare opportunity to combine home, income and future potential in one exceptional setting. With two properties included on a single title, the arrangement is wonderfully flexible and can adapt to suit a wide range of lifestyles.

Acorn Cottage is a detached two-bedroom bungalow offering comfortable single level living, making it particularly appealing to those looking for easy accessibility or a peaceful long term home. The bright open plan living, dining and kitchen area creates a natural heart to the property, providing a sociable space for relaxing, cooking and entertaining. The modern wet room adds further practicality, while the surrounding grounds give the cottage a wonderful sense of space and privacy. Whether used as the main family home, a peaceful retreat or a base for multi-generational living, Acorn provides a comfortable and versatile starting point.

Willow Cottage offers something equally special, combining charm with an established income stream. This one-bedroom retreat features an open plan living, kitchen and dining area, creating a bright and welcoming space that is easy to enjoy. The bedroom benefits from an ensuite wet room, while the private courtyard garden provides a quiet outdoor area for guests to relax. Currently operated as a holiday let, Willow Cottage has proven to generate a significant and reliable income, giving the new owner the opportunity to continue an established business alongside living at Acorn Cottage. Alternatively, the separate accommodation could provide an ideal space for family members, guests, older children or those wanting their own private area close by.

The potential offered by the overall site is what makes this opportunity particularly exciting. The simplest option would be to continue using the properties as they are, enjoying Acorn Cottage as a main residence while retaining Willow Cottage as a successful holiday let. For those with longer term plans, there may be further possibilities, subject to the necessary planning permissions. Willow Cottage could potentially be considered to create a multi-generational arrangement, allowing family members to live independently while remaining close to one another. There may also be scope to explore an extension to Acorn Cottage, creating additional living space and tailoring the home more closely to your needs.

For buyers with an ambitious vision, the entire site could potentially offer the opportunity to create a unique dream home, subject entirely to planning permission and the relevant consents. The combination of land, existing accommodation and location provides an exciting canvas for someone looking to create something truly individual.

The Kingsland Valley setting adds another layer to the appeal. Despite the peaceful and private surroundings, the property offers easy access into Shrewsbury, allowing you to enjoy the best of both worlds. The historic town centre is close enough for everyday convenience, with its independent shops, cafés, restaurants, schools and cultural attractions, while the surrounding countryside provides opportunities for walking, cycling and enjoying the outdoors. The setting is particularly suited to those who value space and privacy without wanting to be isolated from town life. For holiday letting, the location also provides an attractive base for visitors wishing to explore Shrewsbury and the wider Shropshire countryside.

Whether you are looking for a home with an established income, a multi-generational lifestyle, additional accommodation for family or guests, or the chance to create something entirely new, Acorn & Willow Cottages offer a level of flexibility rarely found in such a desirable location. With approximately a third of an acre, two independent properties, a proven holiday let and significant potential for the future, this is an opportunity where the lifestyle you create can be shaped around your own plans and ambitions.
