Overview

Located in Abbey Foregate, just a short walk from Shrewsbury centre, this spacious property boasts character throughout and must be viewed to appreciate the high-quality fittings and accommodation on offer. The property is situated down a secluded private drive within a 0.3 acre plot which has been thoughtfully landscaped for enjoyment and maintenance. The ground floor comprises an entrance hallway with original parquet floor, cloakroom with refitted W.C, separate useful utility/boot room, contemporary attractive kitchen with a range of integral appliances including a built-in fridge, integral microwave and dishwasher, range style cooker, solid oak worktops and breakfast/bar, feature travertine floor and access to the rear garden. A well-lit living room offers stunning parquet flooring with feature wood burner and enjoys views of the rear garden with dual aspect windows and patio doors. There is a separate office which allows access to a further workshop/store room which also has access from the front of the property. On the first floor the property enjoys fantastically high ceilings, three bedrooms with one having an elegant ensuite shower room and a further family bathroom which oozes class with a heritage feel. The property is adjoined by a further loft room which could offer expansion subject to planning. The rear garden is enclosed by perimeter fencing and has a delightful patio area ideal for outdoor dining which overlooks the well-maintained lawn, views of the Lords Hill column can be found at the bottom of the garden. To the front of the property is a large garage with high celling height ideal for storage, large gravel driveway for numerous vehicles and pleasant front garden area leading to the road. The front garden is within current development boundary and can be developed (subject to planning permission and relevant approvals). Any development where the land obtains planning permission and is developed / sold with planning permission independently from the remaining property will result in a 10% clawback to the vendors of the increase in the land value due to the planning permission for a period of 10 years.
