This unique property in Crows Nest, Snailbeach, features a twin-tube Lancashire version boiler, and offers commanding views towards mid-Wales, surrounded by an Area of Outstanding Beauty including the Stiperstones Nature Reserve.
Situated less than a mile from Snailbeach - that was built for workers at the local lead mine, Snailbeach Mine - the house adds to a number of preserved properties in the village that includes a Cornish Engine House. Several original buildings from the mine were saved from demolition when Shropshire Council bought the land, and today the site is managed by the Shropshire Mines Trust.
Just down the road, this engine house was converted into a five-bedroom home during 1988 and offers ample living and entertaining space. The property dating back to the early-19th century has been listed with Roger Parry and Partners for offers in the region of £750,000.
The house's entrance features a front aspect window and the original twin-tube boiler. Downstairs also features a spacious sitting room with an open fireplace, a kitchen/breakfast room with granite worktops, and a dining room with an exposed brick fireplace.
