Summary - LITTLE ORCHARD, CALLOW LANE, SHREWSBURY, MINSTERLEY SY5 0DF
Deceptively spacious three-bedroom detached bungalow over two floors
Large lounge/dining room with exposed beams and separate garden room
Former listed Telephone Exchange in garden — ideal home office but listed
Generous driveway, garage and multiple external stores; ample parking
Dated interior and likely older wiring — refurbishment likely required
First-floor bedroom has reduced headroom; check ceiling heights in person
Set on a generous plot in the heart of Minsterley, this deceptively spacious three-bedroom detached bungalow blends period character with practical family living. The large lounge/dining room with exposed beams, separate garden room and breakfast kitchen provide versatile reception space, while two ground-floor bedrooms and a large first-floor bedroom give flexible sleeping arrangements.
A notable outbuilding is the former listed Telephone Exchange in the garden — an excellent potential home office or studio for remote working, but its listed status means any change of use or alteration may be restricted and could complicate refurbishment. The property benefits from a wide driveway, garage and multiple stores, making parking and storage straightforward for families or hobbyists.
The house presents as traditionally finished and will suit buyers willing to modernise: there is dated decor and likely old wiring consistent with mid-20th-century fittings, and the first-floor bedroom has attenuated ceiling height. Services are said to be connected and broadband speeds are fast, but buyers should commission standard pre-contract checks (electrics, listed-building consents and exact council tax banding).
Overall this freehold bungalow offers strong potential for a family or downsizer seeking a characterful rural home with sizeable grounds and a ready-made home office. Viewing is recommended to assess the finish, headroom on the upper level and the possibilities the listed outbuilding offers.
