6 The Armoury, Shrewsbury

An excellent opportunity to acquire a four-bedroom, Grade II listed, character property in one of Shrewsbury’s premier locations, and within a stones-throw of the popular Prestfelde Primary School.

6 The Armoury offers excellent potential to own a substantial home, approximately a mile from the stunning Medieval market town of Shrewsbury. With the possibility of extending and some modernisation, the property allows potential buyers opportunities to enhance what is already beautiful character property (subject to necessary planning permissions).

Originally built around the time of the Napoleonic wars (circa 1800), The Armoury comprised of a number of buildings constructed to store weapons and gunpowder for the Shropshire militia. Other uses across the 19th and 20th Centuries included a upmarket hotel and spa, a venue centre and a Belgian refugee centre in the First World War. Eventually, the buildings became separate individual residences and is how they continue to be used today.

The property is accessed directly from the London Road, via a shared entrance leading to a private driveway. There is parking for several cars at the front of the property as well as a substantial garage to the property’s right side.

Enter into a bright reception hall giving direct access into a grand reception room. The high ceilings and large sash windows, complete with original folding shutters, flood the room with natural light. The original timber floor boards and recessed bookshelves pay due the Georgian era the property was constructed in, making this an excellent room for entertaining. A kitchen/dining/living area is also accessed from the entrance hall and gives the feeling of a spacious area whilst perfectly separating the two areas.
A garden room is accessed from the living/dining area, giving 180 degree views of the garden and a great space to enjoy any time of year. There is a less formal entrance into the kitchen, ideal for day-to-day use.

To the first floor, four bedrooms serviced by a bathroom and a shower room offer ample living space and, due to the plots position, privacy from all angles.
There is a substantial cellar, accessed under the stairs to the first floor, with excellent potential for conversion into living accommodation or as a storage/workshop space. Two windows bring natural light into the space, a unique feature in lower ground rooms.

A large garage, to the right of the property, has a metal up and over door to the front and pedestrian doors into the property and to the rear garden. A W.C. is located to the rear left corner.

The rear garden is very private with lawn and growing space complete with a greenhouse and patio area.
