Built around 1820 and retaining fine Regency proportions, this generous end-terrace offers over 2,250 sq ft of flexible living in the heart of Shrewsbury’s Town Walls. High ceilings, original sash windows, carved skirtings, fireplaces and a hand-turned staircase give the house strong period character and a formal sense of arrival. The layout includes four reception rooms, a breakfast kitchen with adjoining garden room, cellar, and a library/bedroom four — well suited to entertaining and family life.
Outside, a secluded walled rear garden with mature planting creates private outdoor space rare for a central address. A single garage sits behind secure gates and a residents’ parking permit is available locally. The property sits within walking distance of shops, schools and riverside amenity, making day-to-day life convenient while retaining a quiet, historic setting.
Buyers should note the house has solid brick walls with no known insulation and double glazing of unknown age; the EPC is rated D. As a large, pre-1900 period home, ongoing maintenance and sympathetic updating are likely, and council tax is described as expensive. Crime levels in the area are recorded as high, which some purchasers may wish to investigate further prior to offer.
This home will particularly suit families or buyers seeking a characterful town centre residence with scope to modernise and personalise. Its substantial rooms and historic detail give immediate charm, while the size and layout provide potential to improve energy performance and add contemporary conveniences where required.
