Wigmore is a highly sought-after village known for its rich amenities, including a welcoming pub, a renowned restaurant, a community-owned shop, and excellent primary and secondary schools. It also boasts a historic church and the ruins of a medieval castle. The nearby market towns of Ludlow and Leominster are just 8 miles away, offering additional conveniences.

Barberry Cottage is a beautifully renovated Grade II listed home, nestled within a spacious, mature garden in the heart of Wigmore. This charming stone and half-timbered cottage exudes character and is accessed through a wrought iron gate that leads to a half-timbered, glazed porch, surrounded by flourishing roses. A gravel pathway meanders towards the back garden, featuring lush flower beds and steps that descend to a lawned area.

Upon entering, the front door opens into a warm and inviting living room adorned with original character beams. The newly carpeted floors and an impressive stone inglenook fireplace, complete with a wood-burning stove and a historic feature baking oven, add to the room's charm. There's also a cosy dining area with a tongue-and-groove feature wall and an under-stairs storage cupboard. A glazed door offers direct access to the back garden via bespoke blacksmith made steps.

To the right of the living room is the newly painted kitchen, equipped with bespoke wooden base units and beautiful wooden and stainless-steel countertops. Large windows on two sides fill the space with natural light, and a Belfast sink with a stylish mixer tap complements the rustic feel of the kitchen.

The ground floor also houses a modern bathroom, featuring a generous tiled corner shower, wash hand basin, a WC, and an electric wall heater for added comfort. The Utility area offers space for a washing machine and has a reclaimed Belfast sink with vintage-style taps

A set of stairs with built-in oak bookshelves leads to the first floor. The landing area, currently used as an office, could also serve as an additional guest bedroom. It retains the cottage's signature character beams and has a window that fills the space with light. The main bedroom, located just beyond, is a serene retreat with a large window, exposed beams, original floorboards, and an electric wall heater.

Outside, the garden offers a peaceful gravel seating area with stunning views over the expansive lawn and beyond to the surrounding countryside. A raised stone wall with flower beds adds a decorative touch, while mature fruit trees dot the lawn. A brick built store and two sheds provides extra storage, and the garden extends into a large orchard area with fruit trees leading down to a tranquil brook at the bottom of the property.

For practicality, Barberry Cottage includes off-road parking on the driveway, with ample space for several vehicles. This delightful cottage combines modern comfort with timeless charm in an idyllic setting.
