Spread over 1,400 sq ft, it includes a spacious living room, a bright kitchen, a family bathroom and a utility space, all modernised with natural décor and high ceilings to showcase woodland views.
Set within 0.95 acres, the gardens boast multiple seating areas, rare plants and striking remnants of the site’s industrial past.
Once a 19th-century copper mine – later a barytes mine – the grounds still feature a boiler house chimney and a securely fenced mine shaft now screened by bamboo.
According to Hype Daily, the gardens are surrounded by mature woodland, with far-reaching views over a nearby nature reserve and the Shropshire Hills.
Originally built as a bungalow for the Huglith mine manager, the house has since been “sensitively modernised” to blend rustic character with practical living.
On the market with Strutt & Parker, the £520,000 property is being billed as the perfect retreat for introverts and nature lovers alike – a home steeped in history, yet designed for peace and privacy.
