Summary - 42 RIVER SIDE, BRIDGNORTH WV16 4BH
2 bed 1 bath Terraced
Charming two-bedroom cottage with direct river views and central walking location.
Grade II listed Georgian mid-terrace with authentic period features
A Grade II listed mid-terrace cottage on the banks of the River Severn, 42 Riverside blends historic charm with practical living across three storeys. The house offers genuine river and bridge views from upper floors, quarry-tiled reception with a cast-iron stove, exposed beams and a fitted kitchen opening to a small courtyard. Its 1,047 sq ft layout includes two double bedrooms and a modern en-suite on the top floor, suited to a couple or downsizer seeking character and locality.
The location is a key strength: Riverside cafes, bars, shops and the High Street are all walkable, and local attractions including the Severn Valley Railway and riverside walks are on the doorstep. Parking operates by permit on Riverside; on-street spaces are available nearby. Mains services and gas-fired boiler heating are in place, and mobile signal is excellent.
Buyers should note material constraints that affect value and renovation scope. The property is Grade II listed — works will be restricted and may require specialist consent, which could add cost and delay. The building is solid brick with assumed no cavity insulation; energy improvements will be constrained and potentially expensive. The location has a medium flood risk and the local crime level is above average, both important for insurance and long-term running costs.
Overall, this is a character-rich riverside home for purchasers who prioritise setting and period features over turnkey modernity. It suits someone comfortable managing listed-building requirements and willing to invest in sensitive upgrades while enjoying an exceptional central riverside position.
