Longden Gardens, Coleham, SY3 7

Charm, character and a wonderfully tucked-away spot just moments from the town centre.

If you’re looking for a home that’s full of personality, in a peaceful little pocket right on the edge of Shrewsbury’s town centre – this could be the one.

Cherished by the current owner for over 26 years, this lovely home has clearly been well-loved and cared for – and it’s easy to see why.

Let’s start with the location…

Longden Coleham sits on the very edge of Shrewsbury’s vibrant town centre. From here, it’s just a short stroll over Greyfriars Bridge to The Quarry Park, where you can wander along the River Severn or head into town to explore Shrewsbury’s independent shops, cafés, restaurants and galleries. But truthfully, you don’t even need to go that far – Coleham itself has everything you could wish for. Think artisan cafés, a friendly greengrocer, butcher, bakery and a couple of great pubs – all with that lovely community feel that makes this area so special.

This particular home enjoys a tucked-away position on the edge of Coleham – far enough from the bustle to feel peaceful, yet perfectly placed to enjoy everything on your doorstep. It really is the best of both worlds.

Step inside and you’ll immediately feel that sense of warmth that only comes from a home with soul. The entrance hall sets the tone beautifully, with warm-toned parquet flooring and high ceilings giving a wonderful sense of space and character.

On the ground floor, you’ll find two inviting reception rooms. The living room features a log burner – perfect for those cosy winter evenings – while the dining room has tall sash windows that fill the space with natural light and offer lovely glimpses of the garden.

The kitchen sits just beyond, fitted with plenty of storage and workspace for those who love to cook. And then there’s a real bonus – a home office or studio tucked away at the rear. Whether you work from home, paint, craft or simply need a quiet retreat, it’s a fantastic flexible space.

Upstairs, there are two comfortable double bedrooms, both with built-in wardrobes. The principal bedroom is particularly generous, with two large sash windows creating a light and airy feel.

There are also two bathrooms – a thoughtful layout designed to allow for a lodger or guest setup, though it could easily be reconfigured back to a bedroom if preferred.

A staircase from the landing leads up to a large attic space – another versatile area with a window offering lovely views across the town, and handy eaves storage too.

Please note: To the agent’s knowledge, the attic room was already in its current form when the present owner purchased the property back in 1999. It is not known whether it meets the necessary regulations to be classed as a bedroom, so buyers should make their own enquiries in this regard.
When the property was purchased, the second bathroom (shown on the floor plan) was originally a bedroom. It has since been converted into a bathroom by the current owner but could be reinstated as a bedroom if preferred.

Outside, the garden is a real treat. A bespoke tiled patio leads to a private, enclosed garden with a leafy outlook – a peaceful spot for morning coffee in the sunshine or evening drinks with friends.

In short, this is a home that offers the perfect blend of character, practicality and location. Quietly tucked away, yet right at the heart of Shrewsbury life.
