General Remarks - This characterful sprawling town house occupies a central position in the town of Bishops Castle, adjacent to the historic market square. Probably dating back over 200 years, the house has a rich history with a splendid example of an inglenook fireplace and heavy beamed ceiling to the large and spacious sitting room.
It is thought that it was previously a pub and a butchers shop which was handy, being adjacent to the Old Market Square where local farmers used to sell their livestock.
The accommodation has a secondary reception room leading past the utility and cloaks/WC to the kitchen with access to the large cellar and out to the rear hall and gardens. The house has been adapted with a lift between the ground and first floor which provides disabled access to the first floor bedrooms and bathroom with a shower room and a further two bedrooms to the top floor.
Outside to the rear is a parking area and delightful courtyard style gardens, well stocked with plants, bushes and flowering plants together with a lawn and patio.
Situation - The house lies within the older part of the town, in the conservation area and within walking distance of all the local amenities and services including doctors and dental surgery, schools, shops, sports and theatre centre, parks and cafes. The town sits in a beautiful part of the South Shropshire countryside, a mecca for walkers and cyclists. The larger towns of Shrewsbury and Ludlow, are within comfortable driving distance and provide a comprehensive range of amenities and access to the national road and rail network.
