Set on a raised plot in sought-after Mountfields, this substantial 3-bedroom semi-detached home marries period character with contemporary living. Spacious reception rooms and a modern open-plan kitchen create flexible family living, while the principal bedroom enjoys river views from a Juliet balcony and has en suite facilities. The large deck and landscaped rear garden provide an elevated outdoor space for entertaining and quieter river walks nearby.
Practical benefits include a gated gravel driveway for multiple cars, generous utility and study space (useable as an occasional bedroom), double glazing and gas central heating. The house is freehold, connected to mains services, and located within easy walking distance of Shrewsbury town centre and local schools, shops and Theatre Severn.
Buyers should note the building dates from the 1930s: cavity walls are likely uninsulated as built, and older properties can require ongoing maintenance. Local crime statistics are above average for the area, which may concern some purchasers. Flood risk is low and council tax is described as affordable.
This property will appeal most to families or professionals seeking a roomy, characterful home with modernised living spaces and strong location advantages. It also offers scope to personalise or improve energy performance (insulation, secondary heating upgrades) to reduce running costs and add future value.
