About this property

A characterful two-bedroom apartment carved from the soaring nave of a former Methodist chapel on a quiet side-street in the Frankwell quarter of Shrewsbury, completed by the developer in 2013. The conversion has retained the chapel's original soft red Shropshire brick walls, tall pointed-arch stained-glass windows, exposed timber roof trusses and an original cast-iron spiral staircase as architectural features within a wholly contemporary residential insertion. A heavy timber-and-stained-glass front door opens to a soaring double-height living-kitchen with the full original chapel roof structure exposed above. The kitchen is finished in handle-less matt-charcoal slab cabinetry, polished concrete worktops and integrated Bosch appliances; a long oak breakfast island serves as the focal point. There is no fireplace — heating is via underfloor zoned heat pump. A bespoke industrial-style steel-and-oak staircase rises to a sleeping mezzanine. Both bedrooms enjoy the original tall pointed-arch stained-glass windows; the principal benefits from an ensuite shower room finished in dark charcoal porcelain with brass fittings. The second bedroom doubles as a study, with bespoke fitted desk and floor-to-ceiling pale-oak bookshelves. Residents share a small inner courtyard with one allocated parking bay, secure bike store and bin store. Service charge approximately £1,800 per annum, 989 years remaining on the lease, peppercorn ground rent. Council tax C, EPC C.
