A family home hidden in the middle of the woods has gone on the market for £520,000 – and it’s perfect for anyone seeking privacy.
The detached property is tucked away in a rural location, with no neighbours in sight, making it the ideal retreat for an introvert.
The cottage, located in the village of Habberley, Shrewsbury, boasts two bedrooms, a large living room for entertaining, a light and bright kitchen, a family bathroom and utility space.

With just under one acre (0.95 acres) of gardens and grounds, it takes full advantage of its stunning surroundings, with numerous seating areas.
The site of the garden is an old 19th-century copper mine, later used in the 20th century as a barytes mine.
The historic boiler house chimney and mine shaft are still prominent features within the grounds, with the mine shaft screened by bamboo plants and securely fenced for safety.
The gardens are also home to “many rare plants and special species”, as reported by Luxury Property News.
The estate agent added: “The whole garden is screened by mature woodland and offers far-reaching views over surrounding Nature Reserve countryside and the Shropshire Hills beyond.”
Spread out over 1,400sq ft, the house “has been configured to provide an elegant and practical living and entertaining environment, maximising the stunning woodland views”.
Originally built for the manager of the old disused Huglith mine, the bungalow has a fibre cement roof and has been “sensitively modernised” to combine high ceilings and natural décor throughout.
The home is currently on the market with Strutt & Parker for £520,000.
