Summary - 5 BULL STREET BISHOPS CASTLE SY9 5DB
Three double bedrooms plus top-floor studio room
London House is a striking Victorian red-brick town house in the heart of Bishop’s Castle, arranged over multiple floors and offering exceptionally generous internal space (approx. 1,802 sq ft). Original features — sash windows, exposed boards, fireplaces and high ceilings on the ground and first floors — create immediate period character. The layout includes two reception rooms with wood burners, a locally made bespoke kitchen with an oil-fired Stanley range, three double bedrooms, en-suite WC, family bathroom and a top-floor studio with a rooflight. Split-level terraced gardens sit above a private courtyard and include pergolas, a greenhouse, log store and an integrated workshop. The top garden is bordered by part of the old castle wall (an ancient monument) and is accessed internally and from a gated side entrance.
This house will suit buyers who value character, space and village living — families who want proximity to good local schools and amenities, or buyers seeking a striking period home to personalise. Practical points to note: the property is heated by an oil-fired boiler (not a community system) and the original solid brick walls are assumed to have no insulation, so running and retrofit costs should be considered. Broadband speeds are average and parking is on-street only. The plot is small despite the overall large internal footprint, and the multi-storey layout may not suit those seeking single-level living.
The property presents clear scope for sympathetic improvement and modernisation (insulation, glazing upgrades and possible heating overhaul) while retaining its historic features. Bishops Castle itself offers a lively market-town atmosphere, good primary and secondary schools, local healthcare and countryside access, with Ludlow and Shrewsbury within comfortable driving distance. Council tax is moderate (Band D). In short: a roomy, characterful period townhouse with attractive gardens and workshop space, best suited to buyers ready to invest in energy upgrades and interior modernisation.
