Summary - 5 WEST STREET, SHREWSBURY SY1 2JN
4 bed 2 bath End of Terrace
Spacious four-bedroom family home near riverside and station.
Approximately 1,603 sq ft over three levels
This spacious Victorian end-terrace offers generous, flexible living across three levels — ideal for a growing family needing home-working space. Set in a conservation area close to riverside walks, the railway station and town centre, the house combines period character with practical benefits such as off-street parking and an established rear garden with a summerhouse. The layout includes two reception rooms, a dedicated study/home office, kitchen/breakfast room and useful cellar storage with conversion potential.
The accommodation totals approximately 1,603 sq ft and retains many original features: sash windows, bay front, moulded cornices and exposed boards. Heating is by mains gas boiler and radiators. The property is freehold and in Council Tax Band D. Its location serves family life well with nearby schools, shops and regular bus routes, while commuters have good road links to the A5/M54.
Buyers should note practical considerations: the property has an EPC rating of D and the solid brick walls are assumed uninsulated, which may affect running costs and comfort — improvement work could be worthwhile. The house will also benefit from general modernisation in places to suit contemporary tastes. There is no flooding risk recorded, but the immediate area records higher-than-average crime levels, which may influence some buyers.
Overall this is a characterful, roomy town house that rewards sympathetic updating. The cellar offers scope for extra living space subject to conversion consents, and the secluded parking and mature garden are strong family-focused assets. Viewing is recommended to appreciate the scale and potential.
