This Victorian mid-terrace offers an affordable, well-located two-bedroom home ideal for first-time buyers. The property provides flexible living across two reception rooms, a functional kitchen, and two double bedrooms upstairs, with a partially converted loft for extra storage or occasional use. A low-maintenance courtyard plus a separate garden give outdoor options rare for central town terraces.
The house sits close to Shrewsbury town centre with excellent access to shops, schools and transport links, and benefits from mains gas central heating, double glazing and fast broadband/mobile signal. The solid brick construction gives character but also means walls are assumed uninsulated — upgrading thermal performance would add comfort and value. The loft conversion is partial and reached by a fitted ladder; it requires finishing for regular use as a bedroom or study.
Practical considerations are presented plainly: the plot is small, the area registers above-average crime and higher deprivation indices, and some refurbishment is likely to modernise the layout and insulation. Council tax is described as cheap and the property is freehold, which supports long-term ownership or a buy-to-let plan.
For buyers seeking a central, characterful starter home with scope to personalise, this property is a strong contender. Investors and downsizers will also appreciate the easy-to-manage outdoor space and proximity to local amenities, but should factor in planned upgrades and the neighbourhood profile when assessing potential returns.
