A Grade II listed Victorian terraced cottage offered over three levels, tucked close to Quarry Park and Shrewsbury town centre. The house blends original period features with practical modern upgrades, including a refitted kitchen, utility area and contemporary shower room — an appealing proposition for first-time buyers, professionals or investors seeking central character accommodation.
The ground floor provides two reception rooms that suit flexible living, home working or dining and relaxing spaces. Upstairs are two double bedrooms; the lower-ground kitchen and utility create useful separation from the main living areas. The property is an average-sized home (approximately 632 sq ft) with gas central heating and typical Victorian proportions.
Buyers should note material constraints: the Grade II listing will restrict alterations and may complicate renovations or extensions. The plot is small and outside space limited. There is a medium flood risk in the area and the EPC is rated D, which could mean future energy improvements are needed. Council tax is cheap and the area is very affluent with low crime and fast broadband.
Overall, this cottage is best suited to purchasers who value period character and a central, walkable location in Shrewsbury and who accept the responsibilities of listed ownership. With careful planning it offers comfortable living or a well-located rental opportunity close to green space, riverside walks and town amenities.
