The Property

Church Stretton 3 miles. This charming stone-built, semi-detached cottage, built in 1820, adjoins the owner’s attractive country house and gardens, in the rural hamlet of Cwm Head (meaning Head of the Valley), in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, three miles from Church Stretton. This charming Church Stretton cottage not only offers welcoming and cosy accommodation with a king-size double bedroom, bathroom, well-equipped kitchen and a sitting room with dining area, but the owner’s house is steeped in literary history. Children’s author Malcolm Saville sent his young family to live there during the war years of 1941-2 and he was inspired to write his ‘Lone Pine’ books using features of the lovely local landscape as his backdrop. This was featured on the BBC’s Olympics edition of Countryfile in July 2012. This scenic part of Shropshire is renowned for its hill walking and wildlife, as well as delightful Church Stretton, known as Little Switzerland. Enjoy days out to famous medieval Ludlow, the Shropshire Discovery Centre, Stokesay Castle, Acton Scott Historic Farm, delightful Shrewsbury and the Ironbridge World Heritage Site with its nine museums. This is the perfect Church Stretton cottage for a romantic break amidst lovely and peaceful surroundings.
