A rare and exciting opportunity awaits! Nestled in the heart of Snailbeach, one of Shropshire's most captivating rural villages, 3 Coronation Cottages offers a unique chance to create your dream home amidst breath-taking natural beauty. This charming 3-bedroom semi-detached house, while requiring significant work throughout, promises a truly rewarding project for those eager to unlock its full potential. Imagine waking up to commanding views over the dramatic Stiperstones National Nature Reserve - a privilege few homes can offer.
Step through the double-glazed entrance door into a small hallway, where the stairs ahead lead to the first floor. Immediately to your right, you'll find the bathroom, currently fitted with a paneled bath and electric shower, WC, and pedestal basin - a space ripe for modern transformation. To your left, the living room invites your vision, featuring a characterful stone fireplace with an open fire and tiled hearth, illuminated by a double-glazed window to the front. A door from the living room leads seamlessly into the heart of the home.
The generous kitchen/dining space is a canvas for your culinary aspirations. It currently houses a freestanding Wenlock Stoves cooking range, which also conveniently supplies hot water, and a freestanding Rangemaster with a 5-ring gas hob. Two double-glazed windows frame magnificent, expansive views over the garden and the majestic Stiperstones beyond. Fitted wall storage units, laminated worktops, and an inset stainless steel sink unit provide a functional base, while the tiled flooring adds a rustic touch. Off the kitchen, a practical utility/boot room offers space for a tumble dryer and, crucially, muddy boots after exploring the glorious local countryside. A door from here leads to the rear garden, with a covered veranda offering sheltered paved side access.
Ascend the stairs to the first floor, where three bedrooms await your creative flair: two spacious doubles and a versatile single. Bedroom 1, located at the front, benefits from a double-glazed window and features a built-in airing cupboard housing the hot water cylinder. Bedroom 2 and Bedroom 3 both overlook the rear garden, enjoying those truly fine views across to The Stiperstones, offering an inspiring backdrop to your everyday life. All bedrooms are ready for a complete refresh, allowing you to tailor each space to your exact desires.
Outside, 3 Coronation Cottages offers practical and private external spaces. The front of the property boasts ample off-road parking on a concrete drive, comfortably accommodating at least three cars. A paved path leads from the front to the rear garden. A detached single garage, complete with an up-and-over door, power, and lighting, provides valuable storage or workshop space.
The delightful rear garden, mainly laid to lawn, offers a wonderful sense of openness and privacy. Discover a useful brick-built store, which historically served as an outside toilet, alongside a large timber shed - both offering excellent potential for storage or conversion. The garden is securely enclosed by timber fencing and hedging. To the very rear, a shared access path provides convenient pedestrian access to the main lane, ensuring ease of movement while maintaining privacy.

A Gateway to Scenic Beauty and Rural Living
Located in the beautiful, tranquil village of Snailbeach, this home offers a truly exceptional position for those who love the great outdoors. The area is renowned for its fascinating history as a major lead mining site, with the extensive and well-preserved Snailbeach Lead Mine, a Scheduled Monument, providing a unique backdrop to the village. From your doorstep, a network of footpaths and bridleways leads you directly into the surrounding hills and woodlands. You can embark on a stunning 7-mile walk from the village that takes you through the old mine workings, up towards Lordshill and across the ridgeline of Oak Hill, offering far-reaching views across the South Shropshire Hills. For the more adventurous, the dramatic Stiperstones National Nature Reserve is just a short distance away, offering challenging walks and incredible vistas. This rugged moorland landscape is a haven for walkers, wildlife enthusiasts, and photographers alike, promising endless opportunities for exploration.
Location
Despite its peaceful rural location, the cottage is not isolated. A short drive away, you'll find the charming village of Stiperstones, home to the well-regarded Stiperstones Inn, a traditional free-house pub perfect for a post-walk meal or a refreshing pint. For daily amenities, the larger village of Minsterley is approximately 1.5 miles away, offering a variety of local conveniences including a petrol station/supermarket, post office, and other shops. The historic county town of Shrewsbury, with its beautiful medieval streets, comprehensive retail offerings, and a wide array of cultural attractions, is approximately 12 miles away, providing a straightforward link to a larger town while still allowing you to enjoy the tranquillity of your rural retreat.
