London Road, Shrewsbury, Shropshire, SY2

Having provided a much-loved family home for the current owners, the property is a beautifully appointed and handsome early Victorian residence standing within an acre of private grounds within a prestigious residential area. The property retains an impressive amount of period features throughout, including tiled floors, ornate cornice and freeze work and handsome fire surrounds. The layout is indicative of its era and lends itself to comfortable family living and larger scale entertaining.

The accommodation flows from an impressive central hallway, with four principal reception rooms. The drawing room and dining room have delightful views to the south over the gardens. The living room looks towards the front gardens via an impressive bay window and the snug provides an excellent hideaway close to the kitchen. The fitted kitchen has an AGA range, with a large utility/boot room, pantry and W.C. nearby. The generous cellars are accessed from an inner staircase.

On the first floor is a striking dual aspect principal bedroom overlooking the gardens, with a generous en suite bathroom. A guest bedroom, also with en suite facilities, is found across the hall. Three further bedrooms are served by a large family bathroom and a W.C. On the second floor is a further double bedroom.
