Strutt and Parker in Shrewsbury

Shropshire, a rural county known for its stunning scenery and dramatic landscapes, is centred around the historic town of Shrewsbury. Encircled by the River Severn, Shrewsbury is one of England’s finest mediaeval towns, with cobbled streets and over 650 listed buildings, many showcasing the iconic Tudor timber design. The town's layout remains largely unchanged from historic times, and it now offers a vibrant mix of independent boutiques, artisan shops, and eateries around its 16th-century town square. Shrewsbury is also home to the award-winning Market Hall and one of the world’s longest-running flower shows, held annually in Quarry Park.

The county’s property market offers a diverse range of homes, from contemporary apartments and Tudor properties in Shrewsbury’s centre to elegant Georgian townhouses and detached riverside homes. On the outskirts, quaint cottages, country houses, and small holdings are available, offering options for every lifestyle. Shropshire's excellent schools and strong transport links to London, Birmingham, and Manchester make it a desirable location for young families and professionals seeking a quieter pace of life without losing access to major cities.

Shropshire is rich in history and lesser-known facts. It’s the birthplace of Charles Darwin and home to the world’s oldest iron-framed building, Shrewsbury’s Flax Mill. The county also boasts England’s tallest Doric column, Lord Hill’s Column, and the world’s first iron bridge, built in 1779. Shrewsbury is a popular filming location, with scenes from series like Great Expectations and Brassic shot here. Additionally, the nearby town of Much Wenlock inspired the modern Olympic Games, while Oswestry was the birthplace of war poet Wilfred Owen.
