Summary - 38 BARTON CLOSE SHREWSBURY SY1 2UQ
2 bed 1 bath Apartment
Compact, low-maintenance flat with private courtyard and parking for first buyers or investors.
Ground-floor two-bedroom apartment, approximately 572 sq ft
A practical ground-floor two-bedroom apartment set at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac in Castlefields, ideal for a first-time buyer or investor seeking low-maintenance living. The flat is neatly presented with a private south-facing courtyard, a small front garden with picket fencing, and an allocated parking space. Electric storage heaters were newly installed in January 2025 and the windows are uPVC double glazed, giving immediate, comfortable occupation.
The layout is traditional and compact (about 572 sq ft): entrance hall with storage, an open-plan living/dining room overlooking the front garden, a separate fitted kitchen, two bedrooms and a family bathroom. The setting benefits from nearby riverside walks, local amenities, the train station and town centre within easy reach.
Important practical points: the property is leasehold with approximately 87 years remaining and an average ground rent of £372. Heating is by electric storage heaters (no gas) and the cavity walls are assumed to have no insulation, which may affect running costs and future improvement plans. Double glazing appears to have been installed before 2002.
Sold chain free, the apartment suits someone wanting a straightforward, low-upkeep home or a rental investment with fast broadband and allocated parking. Buyers should factor in the lease length and potential insulation or energy-efficiency upgrades when assessing long-term value.
