About this property

Quarry House is a delightful, detached stone cottage, located in an idyllic and peaceful location on a quiet country lane, close to the small village of Nantmawr. The village itself is just a few minutes journey away from the historic market town of Oswestry, Shropshire, a lovely town with a wide range of independent shops, restaurants, cafes, pubs and bars. The owners have lovingly restored this former quarry workman’s cottage to encompass all the character of the past whilst embracing modern living to provide comfortable and cosy holiday accommodation for up to four guests. Throughout the property you’ll find traditional features including a stone wall, oak beams and floors, alongside the trappings of a modern, high quality, newly renovated property. The ground floor living room hosts a wood burning stove which can be enjoyed for the prefect night in, relaxing on the sofa. Next to the living room is the snug, offering further comfortable seating for those lazy days with French doors opening on to the patio area and private garden, complete with outdoor furniture giving you an ideal space to sit out and relax. The kitchen diner is very well equipped with a modern fitted kitchen, offering an electric double oven, hob, dishwasher, microwave, kettle, toaster and fridge (inc. ice box) and is complete with an oak dining table with four chairs.

The town itself is famous for the number of pubs and restaurants which offer real ale. A wonderful town, steeped in history.
