Leading off the kitchen is an elegant snug/family room with striking open fireplace. The primary reception space is a 22ft dual aspect drawing and dining room with high cleaning, part-panelled walls, stone fireplace and door opening to the courtyard. The cellar, accessed via the kitchen, provides storage and space for home appliances.

The Porch House occupies an enviable position within the much coveted “Loop” of the River Severn, close to the excellent amenities of Shrewsbury town centre and with access to charming rover walks. The town also enjoys a range of bespoke shops, prize winning covered market, bars and restaurants along with year round events including the popular Shrewsbury Flower Show, Food Festival and Regatta.

Shrewsbury is noted for its excellent schools both within the state and private sectors. Across the Severn is Shrewsbury School, while St Winifred’s Convent and the GDST High School are just along the road. Further schooling in the area includes Prestfelde and Packwood Preparatory schools, Moreton Hall, Ellesmere College and Wrekin College.

Road communications are excellent with the A5 M54 linking through to Telford, the West Midlands and the national motorway network beyond. There is a train station in Shrewsbury with a regular service to the Midlands and London. International airports are available at Birmingham, Manchester, Liverpool and East Midlands.

Each reading is based on the highest predicted speed of any major broadband network for services that deliver the download speeds. The following are the different readings that we may display:

    Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
    Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s
    Ultra-fast: Over 300 Mbit/s

    Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength: obtained from Ofcom on January 20, 2022

    Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:

    Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
    Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
    Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
    Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
    Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
