EVERGREEN COTTAGE - Quality holidays in the heart of the Shropshire countryside
An attractive cottage with parts dating back to the 17th Century nestling in the small hamlet of Brockton, 5 miles from the quaint village of Much Wenlock. Evergreen Cottage sleeps up to 8 (best suited for 6 adults + 2 children - see BEDROOM INFORMATION). Standing detached, the property boasts a wealth of original features including exposed beams, sloping ceilings, and it has an inglenook fireplace in the main lounge and an old fire place in the snug. The property has been tastefully and fully modernized but it has retained the “feel” of a country cottage in keeping with the local village/rural environment. With open views across countryside to the Clee hills, the cottage is close to the historic Wenlock Edge (an old coral reef, full of fossil evidence of the area’s geological past). In fact many fossils can be seen in the stonework in and around the cottage. There is an old Iron Age fort in Mogg Forest (800 yards above the property following an ancient right of way). 4 STAR RATED.
