This immaculately presented second-floor apartment occupies a desirable riverside position with a balcony that captures attractive views over the River Severn.

Practical benefits include one designated off-street parking space, neatly kept communal gardens, gas central heating and a long lease (share of freehold with approximately 139 years remaining). The property is within easy walking distance of Shrewsbury town centre, amenities and the train station, making it convenient for commuting, shopping and leisure.
Buyers should note some material factors: the area has a medium flood risk and local crime levels are reported as high, which may affect insurance premiums and personal security considerations. The apartment has an average service charge of £1,162 (period not specified) and is a leasehold arrangement (share of freehold), so prospective purchasers should review management arrangements and service charge history.
This apartment will suit first-time buyers or investors seeking a low-maintenance home with riverside appeal and good transport links. It offers immediate occupation and potential rental demand due to location, but buyers must factor in flood risk, area crime levels and ongoing service charges when assessing long-term costs.
