East Castle Street, Bridgnorth, Shropshire

Nestled on the historic East Castle Street, this remarkable five-bedroom residence seamlessly blends period charm with considered contemporary updates.

The current owners have maintained the property for almost 15-years, breathing new life into the home while preserving its rich architectural heritage. From the moment you step into the grand entrance hall, a sense of craftsmanship and history unfolds—original decorative tiling, intricate plaster mouldings and newly reinstated stained-glass windows that dapple the space with shifting hues of light.

The house is arranged across three levels, offering an elegant arrangement of formal and informal living spaces. The sitting room, warmed by an open fire, invites relaxed gatherings, while the drawing room—defined by its soaring ceilings, tall skirting boards, and ornate cornicing—exudes period grandeur, ideal for formal dining. French doors open into a newly constructed orangery, a luminous space designed for relaxed dining and entertaining. Finished with solid oak flooring and underfloor heating, the room extends seamlessly into the landscaped garden via twin sets of French doors.

The heart of the home is the bespoke breakfast kitchen, where maple cabinetry and granite worktops frame a suite of integrated appliances, including a Miele coffee machine and a three-oven gas Aga. A study and a discreetly positioned WC complete the ground floor, alongside a practical cellar providing ample storage.
The first floor is home to the principal bedroom, an elegant space with bespoke fitted wardrobes and a refined en-suite. Two further bedrooms are served by a large family bathroom, where a roll-top bath and a separate shower offer both indulgence and practicality. A further ascent reveals two additional bedrooms on the second floor, one of which enjoys picturesque views of the nearby church, alongside a practical study area or dressing room.

Beyond the main house, a beautifully appointed one-bedroom barn conversion offers versatile annexe accommodation. This annexe has been transformed into a vibrant and versatile space, currently serving as a bar and studio downstairs with gym and cinema room above. Over the years, this well-loved barn has played host to countless family celebrations, from milestone birthdays to intimate gatherings, offering the owners a dedicated space for entertaining away from the main house.

With its adaptable layout, this beautifully restored barn presents endless possibilities, whether continuing its role as a dedicated leisure space or being reimagined as guest accommodation, a home office, or a creative studio.

The landscaped garden has been thoughtfully designed to provide both beauty and practicality, offering a manageable yet inviting outdoor space. Mature trees create a natural attraction for wildlife, while carefully positioned seating areas make the most of the sun throughout the day. Whether enjoying a morning coffee in a peaceful surrounding, gathering around the BBQ area for alfresco dining, or unwinding in one of the sun-drenched terraces, the garden provides a seamless blend of relaxation and sociable spaces.

A single garage with space for two vehicles complements the property, a rare find on such a prestigious street, while the landscaped gardens—thoughtfully designed for both relaxation and entertaining—complete this exquisite home.
Perfectly positioned in a sought-after location, this house is an extraordinary marriage of historic character and contemporary refinement, offering a rare opportunity to own a property of such distinction. There is also the addition of two parking permits available per household.
Directions
Situated at the end of East Castle Street, Bridgnorth’s Castle Gardens offer a picturesque retreat steeped in history. Once part of Bridgnorth Castle, a Norman fortress built in the 12th century, the gardens now surround the dramatic ruins of the castle keep, which famously leans at a greater angle than the Tower of Pisa— a lasting testament to the town’s turbulent past during the English Civil War. Just around the corner, Bridgnorth’s High Street is a thriving hub of independent shops, characterful cafés, and traditional markets, creating a lively yet timeless atmosphere. The town, divided into High Town and Low Town, is connected by the historic Cliff Railway, one of England’s oldest and steepest funiculars. Whether exploring its rich heritage, enjoying riverside walks along the Severn, or indulging in the local food scene, Bridgnorth is a town that effortlessly combines history, charm, and a strong sense of community.
