House For Sale £1,750,000
17 Kennedy Road occupies a prominent position in the prestigious residential area of Kingsland, renowned for its scenic surroundings with mature tree lined avenues yet only a short distance from Shrewsbury town centre.
Originally constructed in 2007 with upgrades over the past decade, the property offers extensive and versatile accommodation arranged over three floors with the ground floor lending itself to both comfortable everyday living and larger scale entertaining. A terracotta tiled entrance vestibule opens into a spacious hallway off which radiate the seamlessly linked reception spaces. Most notable is the elegant drawing room with open fireplace and triple windows overlooking the garden. Double doors open into a wellproportioned dining room which is flooded with light from the garden room beyond. To the front of the house is a kitchen fitted with a range of units, integrated Neff appliances and a breakfast bar. Adjoining is a large utility room with external door into the garden. A striking staircase with full height picture windows rises to the first and second floor landing where six double bedrooms are serviced by four bathrooms. Bedrooms to the rear of the house enjoy spectacular far-reaching views across the Kingsland Valley, with four bedrooms having built in wardrobes. The top floor provides an excellent space for home working, living space for teenagers or a live-in nanny.
Planning permission has previously been granted (lapsed January 2024) for a substantial extension to the eastern elevation which would transform the living accommodation, moving the kitchen to the rear and allowing an impressive principal bedroom suite above. In addition, extra garaging will be created to the front. A re application for this is currently underway. Historic planning ref: 20/05213/FUL
Prospective purchasers are advised that they should make their own enquiries of the local planning authority.
An outstanding feature of 17 Kennedy Road are the tiered south facing gardens leading to the Bowbrook. A path meanders past expanses of lawn and fully stocked flower beds to a naturalistic area of the garden bordering the brook. Surrounded by imposing mature trees and established shrubbery, the rear garden provides privacy and tranquillity. Extending from the garden room is an alfresco terrace for outdoor entertaining. To the front of the property is a large cobbled driveway and access to an integral garage.
The property is situated in the highly soughtafter residential area of Kingsland, standing proudly above the picturesque Kingsland Valley, a hidden gem on the edge of the town centre. Shrewsbury benefits from a vast range of shopping, leisure and recreational facilities, along with the Quarry Park that borders the River Seven providing beautiful riverside walks and the venue for a number of annual events including the boat race and the Shrewsbury flower show.
Shrewsbury, additionally, has a wide range of highly regarded schools within both the state and private sectors. These include Shrewsbury School, Shrewsbury High School for Girls and Preparatory, St Winifreds Convent, Prestfelde, St Georges Primary School and Woodfield Infant School.
Road communications are excellent with the A5/M54 linking through to Telford, the West Midlands and the national motorway network beyond, whilst airports can be found at Birmingham, Liverpool and Manchester.
