Tenure: Freehold
Late 18th Century triple fronted 4 bedroom house with extensive south facing gardens of approximately 1/5th acre overlooking the Ironbridge Gorge.A PIECE OF HISTORY
Dating back to 1794, this brick and stone four bedroom triple fronted house enjoys views over the Iron Bridge and the famous Severn Gorge. The house stands on land originally owned by one of the founders and pioneers of the World Heritage site of Ironbridge, the Quaker ironmaster, Richard Reynolds.
Ironbridge became famous in 1779 when the world's first iron bridge was cast at nearby Coalbrookdale and constructed over the River Severn, from which the town derives its name. It is steeped in the industrial heritage of the area with local museums including the renowned Blists Hill Open Air Village at nearby Madeley forming part of the World Heritage Site which encompasses the Gorge.
The extensive south-facing terraced gardens at the rear are approximately 190 feet in length(around one fifth of an acre) and they were once part of Ironbridge's pleasure gardens and orchards which were visited by the 18th and 19th century tourists, who flocked from all over the country to see the famous bridge and the wonders of the Industrial Revolution throughout the Gorge. The land, used as a market garden last century, contains the ruins of one of two observatories which used to stand on the hill.
Church Hill is one of Ironbridge's premier streets and the house retains a wealth of original features from its conversion in Victorian times. These include: cast-iron and marble fireplaces in most rooms; original encaustic tiled hallway by Craven Dunnill of Jackfield, a tiled fireplace surround which is one of the last made at Maws Tileworks in Jackfield, a cast-iron window frame on the main landing and sash windows throughout.
