About this property
25% shared ownership opportunity, eligibility criteria apply
No Upward Chain
Impressive open-plan living, dining and kitchen space
Spacious two-bedroom maisonette arranged over three floors
Set within a historic building beside the River Severn
Very high ceilings creating a bright, spacious feel
Two generous double bedrooms with Velux windows
Built-in wardrobe to principal bedroom plus useful storage
Allocated off-road parking space
The ground floor opens into a welcoming entrance hall, with a useful guest cloakroom providing added convenience. From here, the property opens into an impressive open-plan living, dining and kitchen space. The high ceilings create a real sense of volume, while the generous floor area provides plenty of room for a comfortable seating area, dining table and well-equipped kitchen. This is a great central space for everyday living, with the open layout making it easy to cook, eat and relax without feeling restricted. The scale of the room is one of the property's standout features and gives it a very different feel to a typical modern apartment.
Stairs rise to the first-floor landing, where there is useful storage and an additional entrance into the property. This unusual feature adds further flexibility and provides a second point of access, while the landing itself offers a clear transition between the main living space below and the bedrooms above.
The top floor is home to two generous double bedrooms, providing plenty of room for furniture and storage. Both rooms benefit from Velux windows, allowing natural light to enter from above and adding to the character of the accommodation. Bedroom one also has a built-in wardrobe, providing useful storage without taking away from the available floor space. The family bathroom is located off the landing and serves both bedrooms.
The property also comes with one allocated off-road parking space, an important benefit for a home so close to the centre of Shrewsbury. The combination of parking, generous accommodation and the building's historic setting makes this an appealing option for buyers who want convenient town living with something a little more individual.
The location is a major part of the property's appeal. Benbow Quay sits close to the River Severn, giving easy access to the riverside and the many walks and green spaces surrounding it. Shrewsbury town centre is nearby, with its excellent range of independent shops, cafés, restaurants, pubs and everyday amenities. The town is well known for its historic streets, timber-framed buildings and vibrant independent businesses, providing plenty to explore on foot.
For those who enjoy being outdoors, the nearby river and surrounding pathways offer an easy way to escape the busier parts of town. At the same time, the central location means there is no need to rely on the car for many everyday journeys. Shrewsbury railway station is also within reach, providing connections to a range of destinations and making the property worth considering for commuters.
This is a home with genuine character and an impressive sense of space, particularly within the open-plan ground-floor living area. The three-storey arrangement provides a good separation between living and sleeping accommodation, while the two double bedrooms and additional storage make it practical as well as distinctive.
The property is offered with No Upward Chain on a 25% shared ownership basis. Eligibility criteria apply (below).
The current monthly costs are £523.04 rent and £212.63 service charge/management fee. The property also benefits from one allocated off-road parking space.
With its historic surroundings, riverside setting, impressive high ceilings, generous open-plan living space, two double bedrooms and convenient access to Shrewsbury town centre, this is an excellent opportunity to acquire a substantial home through shared ownership in a highly appealing part of the town.
