Refitted kitchen and family bathroom
Original period features: fireplaces, stained glass, Minton tiles

This well‑proportioned three-bedroom semi-detached period home blends original character with thoughtful modern updates. High ceilings, decorative fireplaces and stained glass sit alongside a refitted kitchen and bathroom, creating comfortable family living over three floors.
Set a short walk from Shrewsbury town centre and within catchment for highly regarded schools, the house suits families wanting convenience and community. The rear walled courtyard and two brick outhouses provide secure outdoor space and useful storage, while gas central heating keeps the home comfortable year‑round.
Practical considerations are straightforward: the property sits on a small plot with limited garden space, and the solid brick walls are assumed uninsulated, so buyers may wish to budget for insulation improvements. Wooden framed double glazing installed before 2002 may require ongoing maintenance or eventual replacement. Local recorded crime levels are above average; prospective purchasers should satisfy themselves about neighbourhood safety.
Overall, this Victorian home offers authentic period charm, modernised living areas and strong school access — an appealing, low‑maintenance town family house with potential to improve energy efficiency.
