Watergate House, St. Marys Water Lane, Shrewsbury

Ground Floor

At ground level, you are welcomed into a stunning all-glass entrance porch with full-height glass door and signature glass-brick wall. Push through the glazed wooden internal door and you enter a generous and light-filled entrance hall with feature concrete spiral staircase, that was cast on site. To the left is an exceptional full width, contemporary kitchen, newly fitted with German integrated appliances, sleek Corian sink and worksurfaces to a waterfall end. Italian porcelain tiled flooring has been fitted for a tactile and practical kitchen area, with a dining area, defined by the current owners with a dining table and pendant lights over. This incredible room also benefits from twin French doors that open out onto a full width covered veranda, allowing enviable views of the river and a great space for entertaining. Also to the ground floor is a downstairs cloakroom and convenient utility room, providing space and plumbing for a washing machine, and further doorway to a cellar.

Upstairs

The attractive staircase, with curved, painted white walls and large round skylight above provide a Mediterranean feel, with picturesque arched open windows on each floor, leads up to the first and second floor.

First Floor

The Living room, on the first floor, provides an extraordinary sense of flow and light thanks to twin French doors and large sash window, flooding the room with natural daylight and providing spectacular views of the River Severn. In this tranquil room, it is easy to forget that this property is so centrally located. But open the doors and step out onto the full-width wrought-iron framed balcony with balustrade and glass canopy, and the full splendour, the sights, and sounds, of The River Severn can be enjoyed both day and night.

Further to the first floor is bedroom four, or as it is currently used, an office space, a cloakroom with WC and alternative entrance to the property through the private and enclosed rear garden. A real rarity in the heart of the town centre.

Second Floor

The second floor contains a further three bedrooms, two with en-suite and a family bathroom. The master suite enjoys dual aspect large sash windows, which frame serene views of the water below. Offering plenty of storage with built in wardrobe, dressing table and wall-fitted drawers, with the added benefit of an en-suite containing shower cubicle and hand-wash basin. Bedroom two is a similar sized double bedroom, again with beautiful riverside views through a large sash window, providing a fitted wardrobe and ensuite shower cubicle and hand-wash basin. Bedroom three is a generously sized sized room with fitted wardrobe, large sash window and smaller arched casement window to appreciate the surrounding scenes.

Completing the second-floor accommodation is a family bathroom consisting of a modern white bath with shower over, WC, hand-wash basin with storage space under, heated towel rail and double framed windows giving views over the rear garden.

Garden

A large 'flagstone' terrace adjoins the historic Traitor's Gate and benefits from the afternoon sun. Steps lead up to the main garden where there is a further quarry tile patio area with solid slate table and seating area. A dedicated tiled BBQ patio is off to one side, under a pear tree.

The large South facing garden is mature and planted with several interesting specimens. Bounded by St. Mary's Water Lane and walls on all other sides it is a wonderfully private space. A quarry tile path leads on to the garage and separate access through a keyless security gate, to the forecourt. An expansive lawn allows for activities for young and old.

Double Garage with mains power and water - with potential for a workshop.
