About this property

A finely-proportioned five-bedroom Grade II listed Georgian townhouse on a quiet residential terrace in Castlefields, just above the river and a short walk from Shrewsbury Castle and the rail station. Built in 1789 in soft red Shropshire brick with stone-banded dressings and a parapeted slate roof, the property extends to approximately 235 square metres over four levels including a useful semi-cellar. A panelled fanlit front door opens to a generous reception hall with the original cantilevered limestone staircase climbing through the full height of the building. To the right, a formal drawing room runs the full depth of the house — finished in F&B Picture Gallery Red, with restored painted-timber panelling to dado height, twin marble fireplaces, original twelve-pane sash windows to front and rear, and the original wide-board pine floorboards beneath a faded antique Persian carpet. The dining room opposite is panelled in painted timber and lit by a substantial brass chandelier. The kitchen-breakfast room sits at lower-ground level, fitted as a Plain English bespoke design in deep navy in-frame cabinetry with polished oak worktops, a freestanding cream Lacanche range cooker (no AGA here) and slate flagstones. The first floor accommodates a generous principal bedroom suite with dressing room and a marble-tiled bathroom; two further bedrooms and a shower room fill the second floor; and two more attic bedrooms occupy the dormered third floor. The walled rear garden, approximately 18 metres deep, is laid mainly to lawn with a Yorkstone terrace, deep herbaceous borders along brick walls and a small brick-built coach-house used as a studio. Resident permit parking. Freehold, council tax H, EPC E.
