Right in the heart of Shrewsbury, this apartment makes it easy to soak up the town’s character. Step outside and you’re among timber-framed buildings, riverside walks, and tucked-away cafes – go inside, and you’ll find a cosy, charming space away from the bustle. The apartment spans two floors, and the entrance is on the second floor with no lift access, so it not be the best fit for those with reduced mobility. A balcony offers a quiet spot to enjoy an evening drink after a day of exploring one of England’s most charming market towns.
