About this property

An architect's own award-winning four-bedroom contemporary house on a small private close in the leafy Mount Pleasant area, completed in 2022 by the commissioning architect-owner in collaboration with a Shrewsbury-based builder. The house is set into the slope of the site, presents a single-storey face to the street and opens up over two storeys at the rear with full-height glazing facing west into the established mature garden. A wide pivot oak front door opens into a triple-height entry atrium with a clerestory window above and a cantilevered oak-and-steel staircase. The principal living level sits one half-storey up — an open-plan living-dining-kitchen running across the full rear elevation with floor-to-ceiling bronze-framed sliders onto a generous Yorkstone terrace. The kitchen is custom-built in pale-oak slab cabinetry with polished concrete worktops, a black-stainless integrated double oven, induction hob with downdraft extraction and a vast central island with breakfast-bar seating; no fireplace — a linear gas insert below a wall-mounted contemporary screen serves as the focal point. The first floor accommodates four bedrooms — the principal with a vaulted timber-lined ceiling, dressing wall and an ensuite of book-matched limestone; a guest suite with its own ensuite; and two further bedrooms sharing a family bathroom. A separate snug/study and utility complete the ground floor. Outside, the west-facing terrace looks across a level lawn to a mature hedgerow, with an architect-designed garden studio in matching pale timber cladding at the far end. Integral car port with EV charging. Highly insulated, air-source heat pump, mechanical ventilation with heat recovery, photovoltaic array. Freehold, council tax F, EPC A.
