4 bed detached house for sale

Drake Close, Shrewsbury, Shropshire SY2

Location, Location, Location


Located to the northeast of Shrewsbury's historic town centre-only a 25-minute walk away-you can enjoy everything the bustling, picturesque heart of Shrewsbury offers: Independent shops, a wide range of restaurants, bistro cafes, and wine bars. Abbey Foregate is slightly closer, offering a cosmopolitan feel with some great restaurants and wine bars of its own.

This property sits at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac with only two other houses. It looks across the nature reserve to the River Severn, so it's just a hop and a skip into the beautiful Shropshire countryside. Shrewsbury has so much to offer, including some of the most well-respected schools, both state and independent. If you love golf, a modern driving range is just 5 minutes away. If you don't fancy popping into the town centre, you have several retail parks and diy stores nearby, and you are spoilt for choice when it comes to supermarkets. You also have easy access to local gyms, a tennis club, and many other sports facilities.

Now, a little bit about the property itself.


This family home has it all: Four spacious bedrooms, a large living room, and that ”must-have” for every family-a great-sized kitchen-diner which will soon become the beating heart of your home. You can tell as soon as you step into the hallway that the vendors have not only loved this house but have spared no expense when it comes to the finish. This is a must-see house to truly appreciate.

One of the home's many highlights is the clever addition of a balcony off the fourth bedroom, an ideal place to relax and enjoy the view of the River Severn. But the recently finished new kitchen-diner is truly something special.

The hallway has a wooden floor that flows seamlessly into the kitchen-diner. Doors allow access to the living room, the downstairs cloakroom, and stairs to the first-floor landing. The living room is a great size with a bay window and a free-standing log burner, ideal for cosying up on movie nights.

The kitchen-diner was once two separate rooms; the vendors have removed the wall to create the perfect family space. We love the kitchen island, which can seat four people for breakfast and provides extra worktop space for all your culinary adventures. You have an abundance of storage and all the built-in appliances you could ever need, including a fantastic range cooker. There is space for a six-seater table and chairs for those family meals. Open the patio doors and take the party to the garden in any weather, thanks to the fixed canopy providing shelter.

From the kitchen, you will find a good-sized utility room-a must for every family home. It matches the kitchen with plenty of storage space, a sink, and more worktop space. A door allows access to the garage store.

Upstairs, you will find a carpeted first-floor landing with doors to bedrooms 1,3, and 4 (all doubles), plus the family bathroom. Wait until you see the family bathroom-this room is special, to say the least. Relax in the claw-foot free-standing bath or, if you have less time, jump in the double shower. Bedroom one is a great size with an en-suite shower room. Bedroom three is another good-sized double with built-in wardrobes. Bedroom four is currently used as an office but easily has space for a double bed, wardrobes, and other furniture. We love the patio doors leading to the balcony, ideal for sitting out and enjoying the view across to the River Severn.

Up on the second-floor landing, you will find the final double bedroom, which is particularly impressive. It is a very generous size with space for all the furniture you could ever want. Add an elegant en-suite shower room, and you really do have it all.

Outside, the beautifully landscaped rear garden is a testament to the current owners' attention to detail. It features an array of attractive shrubs and flower beds, along with a sun canopy above the patio, creating a serene outdoor oasis for relaxation and entertainment. This house also features two front gardens, landscaped with a second seating area if you want to simply enjoy the nature that the River Severn brings.

In summary, this truly is a beautiful modern home that is presented with pride by the current owners. Please read on for further detail and be sure to review the floor plans (with dimensions) and the photos-then get in touch with Matt Bowyer at EweMove to arrange a viewing.
