Wistaston is a delightful double-fronted detached property nestling within a lovely private garden. Close to the heart of the historic village, its substantial plot enjoys considerable privacy, including wraparound gardens, additional vegetable garden, detached garage, log shed and garden shed. The cottage was once the residence of the local churchwarden and is named after his childhood village. The cottage was first extended in approximately 1910 with an additional extension in the 1970s. Accommodation is spacious and well-proportioned, offering flexibility of space for a purchaser, with the added benefit of three reception rooms and a ground floor shower room, lending itself to future-proof accommodation.

The nearby market town of Newport has a range of pubs, eateries, independent shops and supermarkets including Waitrose. The A518 provides a commuter link between Telford, Stafford and the M6.
