Arden House
Built in the Arts and Craft style by the Former Mayor of Shrewsbury in 1903,
Arden House sits in an elevated position within a plot extending to just half
an acre. The current owners have been at the property for 12 years and have
sympathetically renovated and extended the property to create a stylish home
combined with a successful holiday letting business.
Shropshire has just been named in the abta list of 'Ten places to watch' in
2024 which is a testament to county and is expected to further increase
visitor numbers with the positive press coverage that it has received.
Offering incredible flexibility, Arden House has been designed to be able to
be used as four separate, self - contained and stylish apartments, but with
great flexibility in how they can interconnect or to be used as one larger
dwelling. Whilst providing a beautiful home for the owners, the apartments
provide a great business that has scope to further develop and enhance if run
on a more commercial basis.
The ground floor has the grand entrance hall off which are large and elegant
rooms that include period features, character and charm with the large drawing
room and dining room being as part of the original layout, with a fantastic
kitchen/breakfast/family room to the rear of the house with doors out on to
the terrace. Upstairs is a superb bedroom suite with a large bathroom.
Accessed off a separate hallway to the side of the house are two one bedroom
apartments known as Darwin and Mackintosh. Each is beautifully appointed and
has a well - fitted kitchen, open plan sitting/dining room and double bedroom
with en suite shower room.
The Turret apartment is the largest and spans the entirety of the top floor,
with an independent access from the terrace at the rear of the building.
Extending to approximately 100 sq m, it has a large open plan kitchen/ dining
and sitting room with three bedrooms including one en suite shower room and a
separate bathroom. There are stairs to the the roof terrace from which there
are exceptional views over the town and the surrounding hills.
Garden and grounds
The grounds are charming with mature trees, pathways and terraces connecting
the property at various levels. They create a wonderful setting with private
areas for the owners to enjoy and for guests to take in the surroundings.
