Shawbury, Shrewsbury

This individually designed three-bedroom detached house occupies a substantial plot of approximately 2.7 acres, including an adjoining paddock, established gardens and a riverside boundary. The property is offered vacant with no upward chain and has extensive accommodation, a private driveway, detached double garage and timber garden store. The ground floor includes an entrance porch and hallway, cloakroom, a large L-shaped living and dining room with garden access, a separate kitchen/breakfast room, utility and rear hall, plus a further sizeable reception room. An earlier side extension, most recently used as an office, has experienced structural movement. The listing identifies possible alternative uses for this space, subject to investigation and any necessary approvals. The reception rooms could also be reconfigured to form a larger kitchen and dining area. Upstairs are three bedrooms with built-in storage, a family bathroom with separate shower and an en-suite shower room to the principal bedroom. Double glazing and gas-fired central heating are stated. The gardens include lawns, paved areas, planted borders and mature trees, as well as a swimming pool that the listing says could be renovated. The paddock is currently used for grazing horses and periodically floods. The house, garage and outbuildings are stated not to have flooded, although the lower garden and paddock can be affected when the river is high. The village centre, with shops, a bakery, GP surgery, primary school, recreation ground and pubs, is described as a short walk away. Shrewsbury town centre is stated to be around a 15-minute drive, with the bypass a little over five minutes away. The property offers scope to update its dated interiors and investigate the condition and future use of the side extension and pool.
