The space
Welcome to School House
Located in a quiet and secluded area of Shrewsbury, this modern and spacious home is close to the town centre with a 10-15 minute stroll.
The property faces the road but is just 65 meters from the River Severn down a small alley next to the house.
The Weir is just 2 minutes walk along the riverbank and definitely worth a visit.
For the property itself, the hosts have spared no expense in transforming this lovely property into something extra-special.
Within a stones-throw distance of the River Severn, giving you beautiful walks from your doorstep into town via the famous Quarry Park.
