House For Sale £575,000
Beautifully elegant and substantial Victorian house with accommodation on 3 floors, decorated with artistic flair! South-east facing garden recently transformed into a magical haven. Five double bedrooms, fabulous living spaces and kitchen plus a cellar which is ripe for conversion. An absolutely breathtaking home!
Located in Belle Vue, just to the south of Shrewsbury's historic town centre, and just a short walk from the Meole Brace retail park, the River Severn and plenty of green spaces. Hop over the River Severn via Greyfriar's Bridge and you're straight into the heart of Shrewsbury However, with an abundance of excellent schools, shops and great public houses on your doorstep, there's an argument for saying you'd never need to go into the centre of Shrewsbury at all!
This is a wonderful example of a traditional Victorian home which has been improved and adapted by the last few owners, including the current vendor, and it is now a delightful blend of traditional and contemporary, making it a wonderful family home. It is a house where maximum value has been given to room size. Both upstairs and down, the rooms are all sizeable and all have cavernously high ceilings. The layout is both traditional and versatile, so you can choose which room you want to dedicate to that all-important home office or studio. And what's not to love about a dressing room attached to the master bedroom?
Character bursts from almost every corner with tiled floors, wood panelling on the walls, ornate coving and ceiling roses, fireplaces and huge bay windows with wooden casings. Yet, much has been modernised, with the current owner having replaced the majority of the outrageously large windows, the family bathroom, the kitchen and having redecorated much of the property with the eye and skill of an artist. There is nothing bland about this house, and oh so much to love about it!
Along with the superb accommodation, the crowning glory of this house has to be the south-east facing rear garden, where the creativity of the current owner's hand is once more evident. The vendor has completely transformed what was an average garden into an urban oasis. Decked and surrounded by flora and fauna, there are two separate areas for relaxing and entertaining, including a pond and a sheltered area for when the British weather shows its true colours. Maximum gain for minimal effort with this low-maintenance space that can be used all year round!
This property has to be the ultimate stylish blend of Victorian and 21st-century living, with all the benefits of both and in a superb location, too.
In brief - this property comprises of:
Entrance hall, living room, study, kitchen, utility room (currently entered via living room / studio but there is a door through to the family room which could be reopened), family room, master bedroom with dressing room, 4 further double bedrooms over 2 floors, two family bathrooms, landscaped rear garden, substantial cellar (potential for conversion). Driveway parking.
This property includes:

In brief - this property comprises of:
Entrance hall, living room, study, kitchen, utility room (currently entered via living room / studio but there is a door through to the family room which could be reopened), family room, master bedroom with dressing room, 4 further double bedrooms over 2 floors, two family bathrooms, landscaped rear garden, substantial cellar (potential for conversion). Driveway parking.
This property includes:
- 01 - Entrance Hall
The Victorians loved a grand entrance, and this certainly delivers. The floor tiles display an intricate pattern, wood panels adorn the walls and a beautifully ornate wooden balustrade guides you up the curved staircase. Doors lead off to the living room and kitchen, and there is plenty of space for the all-important hallway storage. - 02 - Kitchen
4m x 4.5m (18 sqm) - 13' 1" x 14' 9" (193 sqft)
The vendor moved the kitchen from the back of the house to this lovely large room at the front, and what a wonderfully stylish kitchen it has made. Gorgeous original tiles bedeck the floor in a chequer board pattern, contrasting with the light blue doors of the wall and floor units. Eye-level ovens are built-in, along with an extra-wide induction hob and butler sink. The kitchen incorporates a breakfast bar, character copper piping and space is provided for a large, American-style fridge-freezer. The tall window to the front aspect has privacy glass to allow light in but keep prying eyes out. - 03 - Family Room
3.3m x 5.5m (18.1 sqm) - 10' 9" x 18' (195 sqft)
The family room sits behind the kitchen and could be used partially as a dining room if preferred. Whatever the use, this is a wonderfully light room which protrudes into the garden, and almost feels like part of it. A quarry-tiled floor, log burner and feature-tile hearth bring plenty of character and huge glass doors at the rear help to bring the outside in. The vendor has created a wonderfully elegant and characterful room which is an absolute delight to spend time in. - 04 - Living Room
3.8m x 5.09m (19.3 sqm) - 12' 5" x 16' 8" (208 sqft)
Located at the front of the house, off the hallway, the living room is a very large room with huge bay windows to the front and side aspects, and an archway at the rear which opens into the study. These two rooms are currently used as an artist's/florist's studio, and it's easy to appreciate the size and sheer beauty. The light in the living room is utterly fantastic and wood-effect flooring combines with plenty of original features such as wood panelling, coving, a beautiful fireplace and an ornate ceiling rose. - 05 - Study
3.2m x 3.1m (9.9 sqm) - 10' 5" x 10' 2" (106 sqft)
Currently an artist's studio, this is a versatile room which would make an ideal play room off the lounge, or a home office, hobby or gaming room. Window to the rear aspect and door to the utility room. - 06 - Utility Room
3.3m x 3.1m (10.2 sqm) - 10' 9" x 10' 2" (110 sqft)
Accessed through the study (access through the family room has been closed but could easily be re-opened if preferred), this is an extremely useful room in any house. Fitted cupboards provide storage and space and plumbing provided for a washing machine and tumble dryer. - 07 - First Floor Landing
Wooden stairs lead off the entrance hall to the first floor landing and bedrooms. Doors lead off the landing to the master bedroom suite, family bathroom and bedroom 2. The staircase then continues up to the accommodation on the second floor. The original wide wooden doors are delightful and a window to the front aspect makes this a lovely light landing. - 08 - Bedroom 1
3.8m x 4.5m (17.1 sqm) - 12' 5" x 14' 9" (184 sqft)
This room benefits from two huge bay windows to the front and side aspects. The amount of light and the sense of space these bring is absolutely phenomenal. A door in the rear wall leads to the dressing room. - 09 - Dressing Room
3.3m x 3.3m (10.8 sqm) - 10' 9" x 10' 9" (117 sqft)
A door off the master bedroom leads to a delightful dressing room which contains built-in storage and shelving. There is plenty of room in the bedroom for wardrobes, therefore this room could potentially be repurposed as a nursery or en suite bathroom. - 10 - Bathroom
3m x 3.1m (9.3 sqm) - 9' 10" x 10' 2" (100 sqft)
The family bathroom is beautifully light with double windows to the rear, either side of the chimney breast. A huge walk-in shower cubicle is fitted with a waterfall shower. The flooring is wood-effect and the WC, hand basin and bath are all white. - 12 - Bedroom 2
4.5m x 4m (18 sqm) - 14' 9" x 13' 1" (193 sqft)
Bedroom 2 is located at the front of the house with a window to the front aspect. This is a large, bright room with painted wooden floorboards and shelving and a corner desk built into one alcove. - 12 - Second Floor Landing
The wooden stairway continues its upward climb, now bedecked with a central carpet. Doors from the second floor landing lead to bedrooms 3,4 and 5 and a second bathroom. Once again, the original wooden internal doors are a delight. - 13 - Bedroom 3
4m x 2.9m (11.6 sqm) - 13' 1" x 9' 6" (124 sqft)
Bedroom 3 is a double bedroom with a large walk-in wardrobe. Large window to the front aspect. Carpeted in a neutral colour. - 14 - Bedroom 4
3.8m x 3.4m (12.9 sqm) - 12' 5" x 11' 1" (139 sqft)
Bedroom 4 is another carpeted double room at the rear of the house, with room for a double bed and other associated bedroom furniture. The window is to the side aspect. - 15 - Bedroom 5
3.8m x 4.09m (15.5 sqm) - 12' 5" x 13' 5" (167 sqft)
Bedroom 5 is yet another double room, with wood-effect flooring, at the rear of the house. The window is to the rear aspect with a view of the rear garden. - 16 - Bathroom
3.7m x 1.6m (5.9 sqm) - 12' 1" x 5' 2" (63 sqft)
The second floor bathroom features a white bathroom suite including a p-shaped bath with overhead rainfall shower and glass shower screen. The floor is tiled, as are walls behind the bath and hand basin. - 17 - Cellar
4.3m x 8m (34.4 sqm) - 14' 1" x 26' 2" (370 sqft)
A large basement which is accessed externally and currently offers storage space. It has superb potential to be converted, subject to the necessary planning consents. - 18 - Exterior
- 20 - Rear Garden
The vendor has worked very hard at transforming this garden into the most magical space. Accessed through patio doors in the family room and/or through the side gate, it is a south-east facing, very private, low-maintenance garden, which has been fully fitted with decking and divided into two separate areas. One area directly outside the family room incorporates a pond and makes a lovely relaxation area, while the other end incorporates an under cover section that would make a delightful entertainment area, with protection from the elements. This really is a beautiful haven from urban living. Please note, all dimensions are approximate / maximums and should not be relied upon for the purposes of floor coverings.
