"Acton Burnell is a charming village in a conservation area and set in beautiful countryside nearly equal distance from Church Stretton and Shrewsbury.
It hosts the international Concorde College, a village shop and post office, as well as St.Mary s Parish Church, and Acton Burnell Castle.

There is evidence to suggest that 20 Acton Burnell is circa 400yrs to 500yrs old. This wonderful cottage has original features in abundance exposed beams, joists, quarry tiled floors, antique pine stripped doors and more.

It would be a superb first home or holiday cottage for someone wishing to get away from city life.
