<p>Occupying a wonderfully private and remarkably secluded setting beneath the Rotunda in the heart of the Ironbridge Gorge, <strong>Lime burners is a highly individual detached home standing within approximately 13 acres of gardens, meadow and woodland</strong>. Despite its sense of seclusion, the property remains within easy reach of historic Ironbridge, creating an unusual combination of privacy, space and accessibility.</p><p>The setting is undoubtedly one of the defining features. The house sits discreetly within its extensive grounds, surrounded by mature trees and established planting that provide a tremendous feeling of privacy. Immediately adjoining the property is an impressive <strong>level, south-facing lawn</strong>, creating a wonderful open space from which to enjoy the surroundings. Beyond are mature gardens incorporating a pond, specimen trees and colourful planting, before the grounds transition naturally into meadow and woodland.</p><p><strong>The house itself provides particularly versatile accommodation arranged over two floors which would benefit from renovation or a rebuild. The current owners have secured planning permission to rebuild the main property and the separate chalet - For more information please see Telford and Wrekin planning portal (Planning Number </strong><strong>TWC/2023/0746)</strong><strong>.</strong></p><p>The main house was built in the sixty’s and offer’s a full height entrance hall. The ground floor accommodation includes a generous lounge overlooking the gardens, separate dining room, kitchen with pantry and utility. The ground floor also provides a bedroom and bathroom.</p><p>On the first floor there are three further bedrooms one with a balcony and another with picture window to enjoy the distant views across the grounds and over the gorge. The remainder of this floor offers a shower room, office and useful storage.</p><p>A particularly valuable addition is the <strong>detached one-bedroom chalet</strong>, offering excellent ancillary accommodation for extended family, guests or those seeking a degree of independence. It comprises a lounge/diner, kitchen, generous bedroom, bathroom, separate WC and storage.</p><p>Attached to the main property is a double garage and workshop which can be accessed from the main house. There is also a further detached single garage.</p><p>For a property so close to Ironbridge, the scale and privacy of the grounds are exceptional. Extending to approximately <strong>13 acres</strong>, they create a genuine country-house atmosphere, with the residence appearing almost hidden within the surrounding landscape.</p><p>The expansive lawn immediately beyond the house provides an impressive focal point, while the pond and established garden beyond introduce a more intimate and natural character. Mature woodland wraps around much of the property and, together with the meadow, creates an ever-changing backdrop throughout the seasons.</p><p>Location</p><p>Limeburners occupies an enviable position below <strong>The Rotunda</strong>, one of the Ironbridge Gorge's recognised viewpoints, yet enjoys a wonderfully tucked-away setting. This is a location that feels distinctly rural while retaining convenient access to the amenities, restaurants, cafés and public houses of Ironbridge and Coalbrookdale.</p><p>Ironbridge lies within the <strong>Ironbridge Gorge UNESCO World Heritage Site</strong>, an area internationally recognised for its role in the Industrial Revolution and characterised today by wooded valley sides, historic architecture and the River Severn. The surrounding landscape provides an extensive network of walks and opportunities to explore the Gorge directly from the area.</p><p>For families, there is a broad choice of schooling within the wider region, including Coalbrookdale and Ironbridge C of E Primary School, Thomas Telford School, Wrekin College and The Old Hall, with further independent schooling available towards Shrewsbury.</p><p>Part of the extended land forms part of a <strong>Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI)</strong>, recognised for its geological importance and the Silurian cliff face below the Rotunda viewing point. The land may also offer potential for <strong>Biodiversity Net Gain</strong>, subject to specialist assessment and all necessary consents. Two principal footpaths pass through the wider land, while woodland within the area is managed by the Severn Gorge Countryside Trust.</p><p>Buyer and Seller Protection Available</p><p>Buyers Compliance Administration Fee: In accordance with The Money Laundering Regulations 2007, Agents are required to carry out due diligence on all Clients to confirm their identity, including eventual buyers of a property.
