Description

FOR SALE WITH NO ONWARD CHAIN

Some houses have good bones. Others have heart. This home has both.

Set back from the road amidst a colourful frontage of shrubs and plants, this truly charming three-bedroom 1930s detached home in one of Shrewsbury’s most sought-after locations - a house that has been deeply loved, cared for, and cherished by one family for nearly 30 years.

There is an immediate warmth to this home from the moment you arrive.

Step through the vestibule and into the welcoming entrance hall, where period Minton tiled flooring and stained glass detailing offer an elegant nod to the home’s character and heritage - features lovingly preserved and still every bit as special today. Throughout the house, high ceilings, character internal doors, and thoughtful little period details add to that unmistakable sense of charm that only homes of this era seem to possess.

The accommodation is well-balanced and comfortable, with two generous reception rooms, each centred around its own fireplace, creating inviting spaces for everyday living. To the rear, patio doors open out onto what is undoubtedly one of the home’s loveliest features - a wonderfully established west-facing garden.

The layout of the galley kitchen makes excellent use of the space available, with sleek storage units arranged to either side alongside space for white goods. Original quarry tiled flooring adds further character underfoot and continues the home’s warm and inviting feel. To the rear, a glazed door leads through to the useful utility / pantry area and ground floor cloakroom.

And what a garden it is.

A colourful, richly planted space with mature shrubs, specimen trees, and raised beds that have been lovingly tended over many years - a garden that has clearly brought enormous joy, while also providing space to grow vegetables and enjoy colour through every season. It is peaceful, private, and full of life.

Upstairs, there are three bedrooms and a spacious family bathroom, while outside there is driveway parking, a detached garage (unlikely to be suitable for a car due to narrow access), and useful additional garden storage / outbuilding beyond.

While the property would now benefit from a degree of updating, that is very much part of the opportunity here. This is a home with soul - ready for its next chapter - offering someone the chance to sympathetically modernise and create something truly special.

And then there is the setting.

Porthill remains one of Shrewsbury’s most desirable addresses - loved for its leafy feel, strong sense of community, and exceptional convenience. Quarry Park is just a short stroll away, the historic town centre is easily reached on foot, and the beauty of the Shropshire Hills sits wonderfully close by for those who love the outdoors.

From riverside walks and independent shops to concerts at St Chad’s Church and Shrewsbury’s beautiful Tudor streets and hidden shuts, this is a location that offers not just convenience - but genuine lifestyle.

A much-loved home. A beautiful garden. A wonderful address. Now ready to begin its next story.

About Greg Sloane Residential, Shrewsbury

92 Frankwell, Shrewsbury, SY3 8JS

Greg Sloane Residential is an independent, family-run estate agency in the heart of Shrewsbury. Led by husband and wife team Greg and Beverley Sloane, we're all about delivering a genuinely personal service that's as friendly as it is professional.

We have helped thousands of people move around Shrewsbury and the surrounding villages. Our clients love that they get to deal with us directly - we're the owners, and we're also the ones who look after every single sale from start to finish. You'll never be passed from pillar to post here. Instead, you'll have our mobile numbers, direct WhatsApp chats with us, and prompt, honest advice whenever you need it - even outside of office hours.

We don't aim to be the biggest agent in town - just the best. We only take on a handful of properties at a time, so our service is never stretched, communication is always on point, and you'll never feel like just another listing. Because we're so hands-on, we treat every property we sell as if it were our own, combining care and dedication with modern marketing methods (including a brilliant social media presence) to get the very best results.

Our careers in estate agency have earned us multiple industry awards, including Gold for Best Estate Agent in Shrewsbury from the British Property Awards. But what really matters to us is doing right by our clients - never empty promises, just relentless effort, honest advice, and beautiful presentation to show your home in its best light.

If you're looking for a trusted local estate agent in Shrewsbury who combines exceptional results with personal, hands-on service, we'd love to hear from you.
