This compact two-bedroom mid-terrace cottage blends Victorian character with recent upgrades, making it a practical choice for first-time buyers or downsizers. The living room features a decorative fireplace and built-in shelving; the kitchen and ground-floor shower room have updated wood-effect tiled floors and a part-glazed rear door to the garden. Recent works include replacement rear windows, refreshed flooring and décor, and landscaped front and rear gardens.
The property sits on a quiet lane with a semi-rural outlook and pleasant views across adjoining fields and the Shropshire Hills. Outdoor space is low-maintenance: an attractively arranged small rear garden with paved and gravel terraces, planted borders, timber store, and gated access to an adjoining field. There is a paved front courtyard and nearby gravel parking for ease.
Practical running costs are favourable: mains gas central heating, double glazing, and a low council tax band. Broadband speeds are reported as fast and mobile signal average — useful for remote working or streaming. The location gives easy access to Lyth Hill nature reserve, Bayston Hill village amenities, Meole Brace retail park, and Shrewsbury town centre.
Notable limitations are the property’s modest footprint and room sizes — total internal space is around 531 sq ft — which suit single occupants, couples, or those seeking a low-maintenance home rather than families needing larger rooms. The building is solid-brick and assumed to have no cavity wall insulation; some older double glazing (installed before 2002) and solid walls may mean further thermal upgrades could be beneficial. Overall, the cottage offers character, scenic outlooks and recent cosmetic improvements, but buyers should allow for limited space and possible future insulation works.
