An impressive Grade II listed period residence of considerable character and scale, blending historic architectural charm with a contemporary extension, set within its own grounds on one of Shrewsbury’s most desirable streets.
17 Swan Hill is a magnificent period home located in the heart of Shrewsbury with extensive parking and a spacious garden. The property offers over 3,000 sq ft of versatile accommodation that seamlessly marries historic elegance with contemporary design. In addition to the main residence, there is the opportunity to purchase a separate office suite with planning consent for residential conversion* (17a Swan Hill) and a separate self-contained one-bedroom apartment (17c Swan Hill). The neighbouring four-bedroom cottage (17b) may also be available by separate negotiation .
The ground floor layout is designed for both comfortable family living and grand-scale entertaining. At the heart of the home is a spectacular open-plan kitchen and dining room. This modern extension is flooded with natural light via a large roof lantern and features contemporary tiled flooring and bi-fold doors that open seamlessly onto the garden. The kitchen is fitted with bespoke cabinetry, a central island with breakfast bar, and a range cooker. Complementing this space are two traditional reception rooms: a formal sitting room and a cosy snug, each with feature fireplaces. Across the upper floors, the main house provides five generous bedrooms and two bathrooms. The basement adds further versatility, housing a studio and additional storage space.
The walled rear garden provides a private sanctuary in the heart of the town. A level lawn is framed by mature borders and climbing wisteria, while a paved terrace creates an ideal setting for al fresco dining. Unusually for such a central position, the property benefits from substantial off road parking within a secure gated site.
Services: Mains, gas, water and drainage.
