Burford Cottage“When we first viewed the cottage we knew it was a perfect match for us. It is pretty, full of character and charm and surprisingly spacious. It is a traditional period home which has been sympathetically restored over the years. The extensions to the property are within keeping of the original structure and provides space and freedom throughout. We were also attracted to the great location. We are just at the point where Shropshire, Worcestershire and Herefordshire meet, all lovely counties. We have been very happy here over the years and have been made to feel very welcome from the day we arrived!” says Mary.

“Whilst I love my kitchen my favourite feature of the whole property is the garden, I love spending time relaxing there. We have invested a lot of time to make sure that it is a beautiful feature to compliment the cottage whilst still being low maintenance and a pleasure to take care of. The garden is over one acre and divided into three sections. There is an intimate courtyard area ideal for easy outdoor eating, a main front garden and a large section of woodland garden bordered by fields, an orchard and a hop field. Our grandchildren are able to enjoy cook outs, camping and exploring. It is a traditional landscaped garden with a twist and provides a wonderful, tranquil escape,” continues Mary.

“The cottage would be a perfect base for a family of all ages or a couple like ourselves. Tenbury Wells is roughly 1 mile away and we often describe it as the ‘friendliest small town in England.’ It has a thriving community and when we moved here everyone made us feel very welcome. It is a quaint market town with a wide range of shops, primary and secondary schools, local businesses, a hospital, excellent library and a newly restored Art Demo theatre/cinema. It is known for its annual Mistletoe and Apple Fest too! There are railway links at nearby Ludlow, Worcester and Kidderminster. You can benefit from a wide variety of clubs and sporting activities or volunteer to work in the theatre or museum, you will never be short of things to do. Everything is right on the doorstep!

“We will miss the privacy and warmth of this home. It has a distinctive country feel about it and gives you the best of both worlds,” concludes Mary.*
