Private allocated parking and landscaped communal gardens add practical value for town-centre living.
The specification is straightforward and modern: gas central heating, double glazing, integrated kitchen appliances and lift access to the second floor. Its position near Abbey Foregate places shops, cafés and riverside walks within easy reach — practical for commuting, social life and weekend leisure. The vendor cites a typical rental value of about £850 pcm, underlining this property’s appeal to buy-to-let buyers as well as first-time purchasers.
Buyers should be clear about the ongoing costs and constraints of leasehold ownership. The lease has around 143 years remaining, with an average annual service charge of £2,200 and ground rent of about £300. The internal area is compact (approximately 543 sq ft) and there is no private garden; occupants will rely on communal green space. The site is assessed as having a medium flood risk, so buyers may wish to review insurance and local flood information.
Overall, this apartment suits a purchaser seeking a well-maintained, low‑upkeep home close to central Shrewsbury — or an investor looking for a straightforward rental proposition. Its combination of parking, communal amenities and proximity to town centre amenities makes it an efficient, convenient option, provided buyers factor in leasehold charges and location-specific flood considerations.
