Summary - WATERGATE MANSIONS APARTMENT 24 ST MARYS PLACE SHREWSBURY SY1 1DW
1 bed 1 bath Flat
Bright, compact flat with gated parking and a long lease in the heart of Shrewsbury.
Third-floor one-bedroom apartment with period features
This one-bedroom apartment occupies the third floor of a handsome red‑brick mansion block, set directly opposite St Mary’s Church and a short walk from Shrewsbury town centre. The open-plan living and dining space is bright, benefitting from tall windows and period proportions; a separate double bedroom and bathroom complete the practical layout. The flat is offered chain-free with a long lease and a share of the freehold.
Practical features include an allocated gated parking space, double-glazed sash-style windows and electric storage heaters. Mains services are connected and the communal entrance and stairwell are well maintained. The location places shops, restaurants, riverside walks and the railway station within easy reach, making the home viable for commuters, first‑time buyers or buy‑to‑let investors.
Known constraints are the apartment’s modest overall size and the building’s multi‑storey layout — access is via stairs to the third floor — which may limit appeal for anyone needing lift access. Heating is electric storage and there is no gas central heating; this can mean higher running costs depending on use. The area records higher-than-average crime levels, so prospective buyers should consider security needs despite the gated parking.
Overall, the property offers period character, a convenient central address and straightforward accommodation ready for minimal updating. It suits a buyer seeking a low-maintenance town base, a commuter flat, or an investor looking for a centrally located one‑bed with long lease security.
