House For Sale £500,000
The property
3 Whitehall Terrace is a Grade II listed regency townhouse, built in 1834 and arranged over four floors, with a front and back garden, columned veranda and rear patio. This is a rare find, in a period terrace that hasn’t seen a For Sale board in well over 30 years. The house is in a peaceful yet central residential location, within walking distance of a variety of excellent local amenities, highly regarded schools, tranquil riverside walks and the medieval town centre of Shrewsbury.
The property is reached via a private pedestrian gate off Whitehall Street. The house overlooks the front garden and the original round-arched doorway (complete with original stained glass and bell pull) is at the top of a short run of steps, looking on to an open veranda.
Throughout the house are more original period features. These include cornicing, stripped wooden floors, bell pull and wooden shutters to both the ground-floor front bay and firstfloor doors. These full-height French doors are particularly handsome, and lead to an elegant cast-iron latticework balcony that overlooks the front garden.
On the ground floor, a double reception room is used as a drawing room and dining room. Here, there’s a gas fire, wooden floorboards and French doors to the back patio. At the rear, the kitchen, which would benefit from modernisation, leads to a useful utility and shower room with WC. From the utility, a door to the side leads to the rear patio and back garden. A doorway in the hall takes you down to the cellar, where there is plenty of storage space.
An unspoilt original exposed wooden staircase and banister winds up from ground floor to second floor. On the first floor, bathed in light from the west-facing French doors, is the sitting room, with its original fireplace, and beautiful balcony with far-reaching views. At the back are a double bedroom and bathroom, in need of modernisation. On the second floor are two further double rooms, both with good ceiling heights. A study/hobby room/fourth bedroom on the top floor has wonderful vistas over the town, including the Abbey and Shrewsbury Castle.<br /><br />Location
Situated just off Abbey Foregate, behind Shrewsbury Abbey, Whitehall Terrace is a quiet one-way street with on-street parking. The centre of the historic county town of Shrewsbury is in walking distance, as are a raft of lovely green spaces such as the weir, Shrewsbury Lawn Tennis Club and the Quarry Park – 29 acres of flower gardens, parkland and riverside walks. Just minutes away, Abbey Foregate amenities span restaurants, cafés, a local Post Office and the Shropshire Wildlife Trust, while a 10-15 minute walk into town takes you to a huge variety of attractions, including a cinema, galleries, boutiques, artisan food shops, gift shops, and countless cafés, bars, restaurants and pubs.
Shrewsbury has a wide range of highly regarded schools in both the state and private sectors. These include the prestigious Shrewsbury School, Shrewsbury High School for Girls and Preparatory School, St Winifred’s Convent, Prestfelde, St George’s Junior School and Woodfield Infant School. Shrewsbury train station is less than a mile away, giving direct access to Birmingham New Street and London Euston, as well as Chester to the north. The A5/M54 connects through Telford to the West Midlands and the national motorway network beyond.<br /><br />Outside
The terrace sits perpendicular to Whitehall Street behind a brick boundary wall and is glimpsed through a handsome heavy cast-iron gate. A communal path for Whitehall Terrace residents leads to the four houses, while the elegant veranda runs the full length of 1-4. The front garden is mature and fully stocked with trees, shrubs and herbaceous perennials, including Magnolia soulangeana, cornus and camellias. A winding lawn flanked by colourful borders leads to a seating area at the bottom. At the back of the house is another large private garden with patio, vegetable garden and mature fruit bushes.
