This attractive four-bedroom bay-fronted period end-terrace offers well-proportioned living across three floors, with many original features such as sash windows, high ceilings and exposed timber floors. The property benefits from a rare forecourt off-street parking area, enclosed front and rear gardens and a useful cellar that could be converted subject to planning and building regs.
The ground floor provides versatile reception space — lounge, bay-fronted dining room and a separate sitting room — plus a long kitchen/breakfast room and a utility with shower and WC. Upstairs are four good-sized bedrooms and a single family bathroom; the layout suits a growing family or a buy-to-let investor seeking strong central demand and easy access to local amenities and transport links.
Buyers should note some material points: the house is of solid brick construction with no original wall insulation assumed, which can mean higher heating costs unless upgraded. There is only one bathroom servicing four bedrooms. The area records higher-than-average crime, which should be considered alongside the convenience of city-centre location and excellent mobile/broadband connectivity.
Overall, this period town house combines spacious rooms, character details and commuter-friendly location with clear scope for improvement and potential value added by sympathetic insulation, refit or cellar conversion. Early viewing is recommended to appreciate the layout, parking and proximity to riverside walks and Shrewsbury town centre.
