Oak House is a substantial, characterful Victorian town house set in a quiet corner of Bishop’s Castle with commanding views to the Longmynd. The principal accommodation includes large reception rooms with exposed beams and a working fireplace, four bedrooms in the main house and a useful two‑bedroom maisonette above a garage — ideal for multi‑generational living or rental income. Outside there are two garages, ample off‑street parking and a large, well‑planted garden with private, sunny terraces.
The property offers genuine scope: spacious rooms, high ceilings, period detail and a versatile layout but requires renovation throughout. Heating is by oil and supplemental electric room heaters; glazing is partial secondary/double glazing and the stone walls are likely uninsulated. These factors mean upgrading heating, insulation and some services will be needed to improve comfort and running costs.
For families or buyers seeking a project, Oak House promises large living spaces, independent accommodation and a private garden in the town centre, yet with countryside on the doorstep. The maisonette could provide immediate rental income or self‑contained space for relatives. Practical considerations include Council Tax Band E, average broadband speeds, and some maintenance work to return the garden and interior to their former condition.
This is a rare opportunity to create a distinctive family home in a historic market town. Viewings will best suit buyers prepared to invest in renovation to unlock the property’s full potential and enjoy long views and generous outside space.
