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.

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.

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.
