Summary - 25a Castle Street SY1 2BQ
2 bed 2 bath Apartment
Private walled courtyard, gallery living and licensed gated parking nearby.
Very large 1,436 sq ft central mews apartment with high ceilings and rooflights
Set within a secluded town-centre mews, this spacious two-bedroom apartment offers unusually generous accommodation for a central location. The first-floor open-plan living area features a vaulted ceiling, large rooflights and extensive glazing that flood the space with light. A private south/west-facing walled courtyard provides an immediate outdoor retreat and established planting.
The ground floor hosts two double bedrooms, a refitted bathroom and an en suite to the main bedroom, alongside a living room with a wood burner and direct glazed doors to the courtyard. Practical details include gas central heating, double glazing (installed before 2002) and a share of freehold with 187 years remaining on the lease.
Practical considerations are straightforward: gated parking is available by separate annual licence at £125 per month and the development has an average service charge of £1,800 per year. The building is of solid brick construction (pre-1900) and likely lacks cavity insulation, which may affect running costs and future improvement plans.
Location is a strong asset — just minutes from the railway station, Shrewsbury Castle, shops, restaurants and riverside walks — but the immediate area records higher crime levels, which prospective buyers should factor into security and insurance decisions. Broadband speeds are fast and mobile signal excellent, making the home suitable for remote working and city living.
