Set on the edge of Shrewsbury’s medieval town centre, this two-bedroom ground-floor apartment combines Georgian character with contemporary fittings. The open-plan lounge/kitchen is bright, features a bay window and French doors, and opens onto a private decked terrace — a rare outside space in the town centre.
Practical benefits include a long lease (181 years remaining), vacant possession and no upward chain, gas central heating, and fitted storage in both double bedrooms. The property is offered with sensible running costs: council tax band A and a modest ground rent of £75 per year.
Important considerations: the building is Grade II-listed which may limit some alterations and complicate consent for works. The property has secondary glazing and solid brick walls (likely no cavity insulation), and the annual service charge is significant at about £2,404. The area reports higher crime levels, so buyers should satisfy themselves on security and insurance implications.
Overall this apartment suits first-time buyers or downsizers seeking a characterful city-centre home with outside space and a long lease. Viewing is recommended to appreciate the layout, proportions and private terrace overlooking St Alkmund’s Church.
