This three-bedroom semi-detached house sits on a generous plot in Old Heath, Shrewsbury, offered chain free and ready for a buyer willing to renovate. The property retains period proportions and a practical layout: entrance hall, lounge, separate kitchen and a ground-floor bathroom, with three bedrooms on the first floor. Good mobile coverage and fast broadband make the home workable during/after refurbishment.
The plot is a key asset — a level rear garden with scope for landscaping or an extension (subject to planning). A single-width driveway provides convenient off-street parking. The construction appears traditional 1930s–1940s brick with filled cavity walls and PVC windows; double glazing is present though install date is unknown. Main heating is via mains gas boiler and radiators.
The house requires modernisation throughout: the kitchen and some finishes are dated, and internal decorative condition varies. This presents clear potential to add value but will need budget and work. Note the property lies in an area with higher recorded crime rates, which should be considered alongside the location benefits such as nearby schools, shops and transport links.
Overall the home will suit a first-time buyer prepared to DIY or an investor seeking a refurbishment project with good rental or resale upside. Buyers wanting a move-in-ready property should expect to carry out updating works and factor in planning checks for any extensions.
