Summary - 2 WELSH STREET BISHOPS CASTLE SY9 5BT
Grade II listed townhouse with abundant original period features
Moat House is a distinguished Grade II listed townhouse in the heart of Bishop’s Castle, offering abundant original detail and flexible living across multiple floors. The principal rooms are generous, featuring period joinery, a Jacobean staircase, flagstone floors and log-burning stoves that create immediate character and warmth. A large kitchen/breakfast room with a Rayburn and an adjacent utility/workshop provides practical family living and direct access to the terraced rear garden and garage.
The house totals around 2,547 sq ft with five bedrooms and substantial attic space. The second-floor area has been partially converted and presents a clear opportunity to create additional bedrooms, a bathroom or a self-contained apartment subject to Listed Building consent and planning. The principal bedroom includes a private WC and there is a family bathroom with roll-top bath and separate shower on the quarter landing.
Important practical points: the property is Grade II listed and therefore any alterations will be constrained and likely require specialist approvals and higher repair costs. There is only one full bathroom serving five bedrooms, and parts of the attic conversion are unfinished — further work will be needed to realise the upper-floor potential. EPC is exempt and council tax band is above average (Band E). Broadband speeds are average despite excellent mobile signal.
Set in a lively market town with cafés, independent shops, good primary and secondary schooling nearby and excellent walking routes on the doorstep, Moat House will suit a family seeking a characterful, substantial home with scope to tailor upper floors. It will also appeal to buyers who appreciate historic fabric and are comfortable managing listed-building constraints and completing the attic conversion.
