Situation
Ironbridge is a renowned and historic area nestling in The Severn Gorge which forms one of the most striking and distinctive landscapes in England, with a charming town centre adjoining the River Severn and the slopes of The Gorge combining a delightful mix of imposing, detached period residences mingling with charming cottages up the hillside. This remarkable area was at the heart of the Industrial Revolution and became world famous in 1779 when the world’s first iron bridge was constructed over the River Severn and from which the town derives its name. It is steeped in the industrial heritage of the area with local museums forming part of the World Heritage Site and is now recognised as a premier tourist area.
Bridge Road comprises a pleasant mix of varying styles of period property together with some small amounts of individual more modern housing.
The property
Offers accommodation over four levels ideal for a large or extended family who need annexe accommodation which could suite an independent teenager/young adult or aged relative.
On the ground floor there is a hallway which has a useful cloaks storage area, staircase ascending to the first floor, access to open plan lounge and sun room. The lounge has a brick inglenook fireplace with inset wood burning stove and slate hearth, door to staircase descending to lower ground level and door to kitchen/diner which has a cloakroom/wc off. The kitchen/diner has a range of base and wall units, built-in oven and microwave, Aga range cooker, space for larger style fridge freezer, space for dishwasher and tiled flooring which continues through to the dining area where there are double opening doors leading to the sun room.
The lower ground level (self-contained annexe) would be ideal for use as a separate self-contained annexe with independent access leading to the hallway which has a useful under stairs cupboard, tiled flooring and access to the lounge, kitchen/diner, 3 bedrooms and utility/boiler room which houses the floor mounted central heating boiler. Two of the bedrooms have en-suite facilities.
