Compact two-bed city-centre apartment, ideal for first-time buyers or investors..
Ground-floor two-bedroom apartment, courtyard location
A compact two-bedroom ground-floor apartment tucked into a quiet courtyard in the heart of Shrewsbury. The large open-plan living/dining/kitchen and neutral modern kitchen make this an easy lock-up-and-go city base or rental unit. Offered with no upward chain, it suits first-time buyers seeking central convenience or investors after a city-centre let.
Practical points are clear: the property is small (approximately 540 sq ft), has an EPC rating of E, and uses electric room heaters rather than a gas central system — factors that can affect running costs. The building is a converted heritage-style development with double glazing; maintenance appears manageable but some upkeep should be expected given the mixed-age fabric and communal courtyard setting.
Ownership is on a share-of-freehold basis (one-seventh interest) with around 178 years remaining on the head lease. Ground rent and service charge are expected to be nominal but should be confirmed during pre-contract enquiries, as there are no significant external communal areas. The apartment’s town-centre location places shops, cafes and the railway station within easy walking distance, making it particularly well placed for commuting or short-term lets.
Overall this is a straightforward, affordable central apartment with rental potential and minimal external maintenance. Buyers should budget for potentially higher electricity heating costs and check service charge details and the EPC implications before committing.
