Location

Originally the immediate setting of Whitehall Mansion was dominated by the adjacent 1960s office building to the rear, but has recently been enhanced by the Whitehall Gardens housing scheme, by respected regional developers Shropshire Homes, which is now well advanced.

The Guardian named Shrewsbury one of its 'Happiest Places to Live in 2025' and the top town in the Midlands. The popularity of the town grows year on year.
