About this space
This Victorian townhouse is located in a quiet residential street with parking for two cars and only a 15-minute stroll from the beautiful town of Shrewsbury, with its timber-lined building, independent shops and many bars, cafes and restaurants to suit all tastes.
Our home is suitable for couples, families, friends wanting to catch up or those looking for a home from home while working locally.
The space
Our home includes a cosy sitting room. Dining area with log burner, a perfect area to catch up over a coffee or glass of wine, which leads into a fully equipped kitchen with plenty of storage space.
Also off the dining room is a utility room, a great area for drying off muddy paws and storing outdoor equipment such as bikes.
Upstairs we have two cosy bedrooms with luxurious soft furnishings. Bedroom one, at the front of the house, has a super-king bed and bedroom two is a double. We also have a family bathroom with a bath and shower over the bath. The stairs are steeply inclined.
As you walk outside, there is a relaxing place to sit surrounded by a patio area and garden for catching those sunny afternoons.
The stairs are steeper than usual and may pose a challenge for older guests.
And most important, we have off-road parking for 2 medium-sized cars which is rare around Victorian-designed property in the area - so your car can be safe and secure.

Local Attractions
A 20-walk from the house will take you into the historic town of Shrewsbury. Shrewsbury has 800 listed buildings from the 16th and 17th centuries. Unfortunately in the 1960s, some historic buildings were demolished to make way for a very different architectural style and I am sure you will spot these buildings. Just remember when you are walking around to look up. A walk past the train station, castle, and old library building is worth seeing. If you follow the river, you will come to the Quarry Park, which is a beautiful 29-acre parkland providing the perfect place to relax, enjoy walks, picnic, or play a game of ball with the family. At the heart of the Quarry lies the Dingle, a floral masterpiece cultivated by world-renowned gardener Percy Thrower, who served as Parks Superintendent for 28 years. It's a delightful sunken garden landscaped with alpine borders, shrubbery, and charming water features that is worth a wander around. We also hold many festivals in the Quarry, check to see what is on. Shrewsbury Prison is worth a visit and has featured on many TV series. www.visitshropshire.co.uk www.originalshrewsbury.co.uk We have a multi-plex cinema if you fancy checking out the latest blockbuster and The Theater Severn www.theatresevern.co.uk.
