Summary - 28 RIVERDALE ROAD SHREWSBURY SY2 5TA
3 bed 1 bath Semi-Detached
Generous plot and workshop ideal for families or buyers seeking refurbishment potential.
- Large corner plot with significant extension/development potential (subject to planning)
- Three double bedrooms and a large first-floor shower room
- 20'11 x 15' workshop provides substantial outbuilding space
- Conservatory and family room (former garage) expand living areas
- Dated kitchen requiring modernisation to add value
- Oil central heating (no mains gas) and double glazing present
- Former garage conversion limits secure garage parking
- Local area shows deprivation; nearby schools’ ratings are mixed
Set on a prominent corner plot, this three-bedroom semi-detached house offers generous space and clear scope for improvement. The ground floor has a living/dining room, a conservatory and a family room converted from the original garage, while upstairs are three double bedrooms and a large shower room. Oil central heating and double glazing are already in place.
The wide plot and 20'11" x 15' workshop are the property's strongest assets — they create practical storage and clear potential for extension or redevelopment, subject to planning consent. The kitchen is functional but dated, so there is opportunity to modernise and add value quickly.
Practical points to note: the former garage conversion reduces secure parking/garage use; heating is oil-fed rather than gas; the neighbourhood has pockets of deprivation and some nearby schools are graded as requiring improvement, although a local secondary is rated Outstanding. Broadband and mobile signal are strong, council tax is low and there is no flood risk.
This home suits a family seeking space and a long-term project, or an investor/buyer looking to add value through refurbishment or extension (planning required). The plot and workshop make this a practical purchase for anyone wanting room to grow rather than a move-in-finish home.
