On a quiet residential street, just a fifteen-minute stroll from Shrewsbury's village centre, this Victorian townhouse invites guests for an authentic taste of Shropshire. An idyllic base for ramblers and keen countryside explorers, the house features a convenient utility room for drying off muddy boots and paws and provides space to store bikes and other outdoor gear. With a patio area and garden, you'll be able to balance country excursions with relaxing on sunny afternoons in seclusion. Meanwhile, details such as the log burner fire, bathtub and board game selection are cosy touches to enjoy when you're not exploring the local independent eateries, shops and cafes of Shrewsbury.
