GENERAL REMARKS 18 Lower Down is a former estate workers cottage which provides excellent scope for a comprehensive scheme of renovation and modernisation which will provide an attractive family home or investment opportunity. It now stands in large, private grounds of approximately 0.55 of an acre with a grass paddock at the front and good sized gardens which require landscaping.

LOCATION The cottages are located in a slightly elevated country setting just below the famous Bury Ditches hill fort and some 4 miles South East of the historic market town of Bishops Castle. It has good views from most aspects, with the larger towns of Ludlow and Shrewsbury being within comfortable driving distance and providing a comprehensive range of facilities, services and access to the national road and rail networks.
