Porthill – spacious home, schools walking distance

A unique and spacious 4 bedroom home, in one of Shrewsbury’s most sought-after locations has been launched to the market with Balfours.

 59 Porthill Road lies within the Conservation Area, it is less than a mile from Shrewsbury town centre and is conveniently located for both infant and primary schools, together with state and private secondary schools – all within walking distance.

Built in the 1900s the property has significant period appeal, blended with 21st century design and convenience. It is approached via a generous gravel driveway and the inviting oak porch gives access into a light and airy hallway with stairs to the first floor. To one side is the lounge, a well-balanced room with wood-burner and exposed timbers beyond which is the study. This additional reception room is filled with natural light from three aspects, including French doors to the garden. To the opposite side of the hallway is the cloakroom/utility and the kitchen. The kitchen, having been recently refurbished, opens into the garden room with dining and sitting areas plus French doors to the garden.

True to its 1900s heritage the landing is a spacious area full of natural light, leading to the master bedroom and en-suite, a second bedroom and the family bathroom. Up a further flight of stairs there is a central family room, with double bedrooms to either side.

Balfours Alistair Hilton, head of sales comments: “Throughout this property there is a feeling of generous space and natural light with several access points into a private enclosed garden and a good sized double garage, with full planning permission in place for an annexe above.”
