This semi‑detached three-bedroom house on Caradoc Crescent sits on a larger-than-typical corner/end plot in Belvidere, offering genuine scope to increase value through modest modernisation or a driveway (subject to consents). The layout is traditional: entrance porch, living room with feature fireplace, separate dining room, fitted kitchen, rear hall and cloakroom on the ground floor, with two double bedrooms, a single bedroom and a family bathroom upstairs.
The property benefits from mains gas central heating, uPVC double glazing and a private front and rear garden with gated side access. The sizeable front/side lawn provides potential to create off-street parking. Sold freehold and chain free, it will suit owner-occupiers and buy‑to‑let investors targeting mid‑price family homes in easy reach of Shrewsbury town centre and local schools.
Buyers should note material drawbacks: the walls are a system build with no assumed insulation, so upgrading thermal performance may be needed. The interior has dated mid‑20th century finishes and will require updating to reach modern standards. The local area scores as deprived and crime rates are above average, which may affect resale or lettability for some buyers.
Overall this is a practical family home with a strong plot and clear refurbishment potential. For buyers willing to invest in energy improvements and cosmetic updating, the house offers a good opportunity close to schools, amenities and commuter links.
