Grade II listed townhouse with strong period features
A substantial Grade II listed townhouse in the heart of Shrewsbury, this well-proportioned four-bedroom home spreads across three floors and offers flexible living for a growing family. Large reception rooms with high ceilings, exposed beams and sash windows retain strong period character while a contemporary kitchen and modern bathrooms provide everyday comfort. The house includes a private walled courtyard garden that catches afternoon sun and a cellar for useful storage.
Practical conveniences include mains gas central heating, double glazing, an existing wall-mounted CCTV system, and arrangements for parking. There is a long-lease rental garage associated with the property which may be transferred to a new owner. Planning permission has been granted to replace the rear French windows with bi-folding doors to open the ground floor to the Victorian courtyard.
Important constraints are clear: the property is Grade II listed, which will restrict alterations and can complicate refurbishment or insulation works. The solid brick walls are assumed to have no cavity insulation, and the double glazing was installed before 2002, so energy-efficiency upgrades may be needed. The surrounding area records higher-than-average crime, which buyers should weigh against the included CCTV system and central location.
Positioned within walking distance of shops, cafes, parks and excellent schools (including Shrewsbury High and Shrewsbury School), this townhouse suits families seeking central town living with scope to personalise rooms and potentially create separate accommodation on the second floor. Buyers wanting unrestricted remodelling should note the listed status and plan accordingly.
