Summary - Council House, Council House Court, Castle Street, Shrewsbury, SY1 2AU SY1 2AU
Grade II* listed historic townhouse with ornate carvings and stained glass
A rare, Grade II* listed Georgian/Tudor‑revival townhouse set within the River Severn loop, the Council House offers expansive, characterful living across approximately 4,183 sq ft. Restored and carefully maintained, principal rooms have high ceilings, ornate carving, stained glass and tall windows that capture south‑easterly views toward Haughmond Hill. The house sits in about 0.8 acres of terraces, formal garden and riverside paths, with generous private parking and a single garage.
Accommodation is arranged around a handsome central staircase and landing. Ground‑floor reception rooms include a dining hall and drawing room overlooking the river, plus a garden room and large kitchen/breakfast/living area that opens to terraces. Five generous first‑floor bedrooms include a dual‑aspect principal suite with en‑suite and a guest room with en‑suite and balcony; a family bathroom serves the remaining rooms.
This home will suit an owner seeking historic importance, space and a prominent central location — ideal for families who want proximity to Shrewsbury’s schools, cultural life and mainline station. Practical benefits include gas central heating, mains services and a freehold title; the property has no flood risk.
Important practical notes: the Grade II* listing and conservation area status will restrict alterations and likely increase repair costs and consent requirements. The freehold is subject to existing rights of way and parking rights for neighbouring properties; buyers must investigate shared access arrangements and any informal maintenance obligations. Council Tax Band F and the town centre location are reflected in running costs, and recorded local crime levels are higher than average for the area.
