A stone wall and smart railings set the house back from the street.

Situation

Boasting market town status since 1249 there is still a thriving livestock market at the auction yard and a popular farmers market to be found in the newly refurbished town hall, fast becoming the rejuvenated heart of Bishops Castle. There is a fantastic mix of independent shops, museums, cafes, pubs and microbreweries on the doorstep. Of particular note is The Three Tuns of 1642; the oldest licensed brewery in Britain, and The Castle Hotel which stands on the site of the ancient castle and once owned by Clive of India. Bishops Castle has a wonderful community spirit with many local celebrations such as the carnival, beer festival and Michelmas festival. Located in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty the surrounding countryside makes for excellent cycling and walking, it is no surprise that status as a ‘Walkers Are Welcome’ town was awarded in 2008. The Shropshire Way, Offas Dyke and prehistoric Bronze Age Kerry Ridgeway are found on the edge of the town. Communications in the area are good with the A488 linking Shrewsbury in the north. The A49 is located a few miles away and rail links are found at Craven Arms and Church Stretton. Further amenities and services include a doctor’s surgery, dentists and a local hospital. There is a primary school and The Community College offers secondary and further education.

Directions

From Shrewsbury via the A488. Turn right into Schoolhouse Lane immediately after the Bishops Castle and 50mph signs. Continue up the hill and take first right onto Bull Lane after the doctor’s surgery on right. At the top of the hill the property is in front of you on the corner of Bull Lane and Castle Green.
