About this property
Bishops Castle 4.3 miles. Set in delightful countryside, adjoining the owners home in the lovely village of Norbury, this pretty, Grade II listed cottage is just a short stroll from the parish church and a 10 minute drive from the charms of Bishops Castle. Having been tastefully styled to provide welcoming accommodation, the cottage retains its original front windows and Victorian chimneys. It has two attractive, first floor bedrooms; the king-size double enjoys unspoilt country views across the front garden and the rear twin room can be made into a super king-size double on request. Enter the cottage through a character wooden door and into the charming sitting room, which has a warming woodburning stove.
A door leads through into a social kitchen, with a dining area, where you can sit in front of the open fire on cooler days, keeping the chef entertained whilst they prepare sumptuous evening meals. Outside, the garden provides a delightful, tranquil retreat in the summer, enjoying a south facing aspect and doorstep walks leading onto The Long Mynd, The Shropshire Way and Stiperstones, with links to the Offas Dyke Path just over the hill. This superb cottage is the perfect location for an exciting break exploring Shropshire and the surrounding area, all year round.
The attractive market town of Bishop's Castle is surrounded by the Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty of the South West Shropshire Hills. The ancient town offers a weekly market and an excellent variety of shops, pubs and places to eat. It is famous for its annual Real Ale Festival, Tandem Triathlon and regular festivals and fairs.
