A Grade II listed, three-storey terraced cottage set on the banks of the River Severn, this two-bedroom home delivers genuine period character and direct riverside views within easy walking distance of Bridgnorth High Street. Rooms retain historic features — exposed beams, cast-iron fireplaces, quarry tiles and original floorboards — creating a cosy, low-maintenance feel suited to a buyer seeking character over new-build minimalism.
The accommodation is compact and practical: ground-floor living room with a solid-fuel stove, breakfast kitchen with stable door to a communal courtyard and a useful brick store. Upstairs provides two double bedrooms, the principal forming an impressive suite with exposed beams and a modern en-suite. The property benefits from mains gas central heating (boiler and radiators) and has been sympathetically updated in places while retaining its historic fabric.
Important considerations are factual and should guide viewing decisions. The property is Grade II listed — any alterations will require listed-building consent and may be time-consuming and costly. The building is of solid brick construction with no cavity insulation (assumed), so upgrading thermal performance may be needed. There is a medium flood risk being river-front, with on-street parking by permit only and above-average local crime levels.
This cottage will suit a buyer seeking a character-rich, manageable home in a prime riverside spot — ideal for downsizers, couples or those wanting a second/holiday residence — who accepts the responsibilities of owning a listed, historic property and the implications of flood exposure and fabric-related improvements.
