A unique opportunity to buy one of the few linked-detached properties within the loop of the River Severn around Shrewsbury is being offered by town agents Halls.

On the market at a guide price of £625,000, Tower House, Town Walls is an individual, architect-designed residence contained within beautiful landscaped walled gardens with parking and garaging, a rare commodity for town centre properties.

A special feature of the property, which enjoys elevated views towards Kingsland, is an ancient three-storey watchtower, a listed Grade II building leased from the National Trust.

Built to the current owners’ specifications in the late 1960s, Tower House has an interesting accommodation layout and a particularly appealing living environment.

The main reception rooms and kitchen are on the upper floor and the four bedrooms on the lower ground floor, thereby allowing the main accommodation to take advantage of the wonderful views.

The accommodation comprises a reception room, cloakroom, lounge with a feature split-level ceiling, stone fireplace, fitted bench seating and a sliding door to a conservatory and extensive sun balcony. The fitted oak breakfast kitchen has a matching island, integrated appliances and a walk-in pantry while the dining room has oak-strip flooring.

A staircase rises from the reception room to a half landing where another staircase descends to the lower ground floor hallway, which gives access to a bathroom, a principal bedroom and three further bedrooms, of which one has French doors to the sun terrace.

Part of the roofing design, which is flat, was re-covered in 2006 with a Polyroof 185 fiberglass system which carries a 20-year guarantee. The sun balcony was also re-covered in 2007 and is guaranteed.

The property, which is a short distance from the town square, has a pedestrian access from Town Walls and a rear vehicular access off Crescent Lane, which leads to flagged hardstanding for at least two cars, a brick garage and an adjoining garden store.

The gardens are particularly attractive, having been extensively landscaped and include a host of flowering shrubs, beautiful magnolia tree, well-stocked flowerbeds, a central lawn and a separate vegetable and fruit garden.

Viewing is by appointment with Halls’ Barker Street office in Shrewsbury on 01743 236444.
