White Rock in Llanymynech on the Shropshire/Powys border is a magical compact estate at the heart of which is an Arts and Crafts house with a range of traditional outbuildings, a granary and glorious gardens hidden at the end of which is a gardener's cottage.
White Rock, while in need of restoration, is a wonderful family house. Built in the 1920s to an extremely high standard, there are block wood floors running through the main reception rooms, leaded windows and oak doors with the original Arts and Craft style door furniture.
A studded front door opens to the hallway off which leads the impressive dining room, elegant drawing room, study, wide south-facing veranda, kitchen, larder, traditionally fitted butler's pantry and butler's sitting room.
At present, there are nine bedrooms in total but laid out so the five principal ones could benefit from en suite bathrooms or dressing rooms if required.
Guide price £1,000,000 through Savills on (01952) 239500.
16 St Johns Road is a charming little terraced cottage in the conservation area of Ludlow's old town with southerly views towards distant countryside.

Cold Weston Cottage in Clee St Margaret, near Ludlow, is a primitive stone-built cottage in the South Shropshire countryside, standing on the site of a Medieval deserted village first recorded in the year 1090.
Although a minimal amount of modernisation has taken place during the past 30 years, and until recently the cottage was tenanted, the building requires considerable modernisation and would benefit greatly from sympathetic improvement.
The historic site surrounding the cottage is designated as an Ancient Monument and as such is subject to the control of English Heritage. Enquiries to English Heritage can be made on (0121) 625 6847,
