This mid-terraced three-bedroom house in Harlescott offers ready-to-move-in accommodation suited to first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors. The layout includes a porch with WC, modern kitchen/diner, lounge with rear sunroom and a family bathroom upstairs. The property is chain-free and freehold, simplifying purchase.
Practical extras include off-street parking to the front and a private rear garden with lawn and paved areas — useful for families or tenants. The home benefits from mains gas central heating, double glazing (install date unknown) and ultrafast broadband, supporting modern living and working from home. The internal footprint is around 851 sq ft, with standard ceiling heights and average room sizes.
Notable considerations are the small plot size and mid-20th century construction (circa 1967–1975) with timber-frame elements and only partial/assumed insulation; buyers should budget for any further insulation or energy-efficiency improvements. There is one bathroom for three bedrooms — practical but potentially limiting for larger families. Local area factors: the neighbourhood is relatively deprived and records above-average crime rates, which may affect resale or rental demand depending on buyer priorities.
Overall, this property represents a straightforward, well-presented entry into the Shrewsbury market: low running costs (cheap council tax), good transport and amenity access, and strong digital connectivity. It suits a buyer looking for a manageable project with immediate rental or owner-occupier potential, provided they accept local area challenges and typical mid-20th century maintenance needs.
