189 Abbey Foregate

About this property

189 Abbey Foregate is a terraced Georgian townhouse located opposite the main Abbey in central Shrewsbury, only a short distance from the heart of the town, with a variety of local amenities to attract the visitor. Situated over four floors, this cottage is wrapped in character and charm, a quirky place to bring your loved ones, where together you can build some memories in one of England's finest heritage towns. Enter the cottage and you will receive a warm welcome from two fabulous sitting rooms; the first is elevated by natural lighting with a view of the delightful garden to keep you company. Centred by a feature fireplace and divided by an archway, you will be spoilt for choice between the two. The kitchen and dining room are located on the lower ground floor, an almost enchanting addition to the cottage, with fantastic exposed beams to compliment the formation. Across the first and second floor, discover the beautiful assortment of bedrooms, all expressing their own personality through floral or patterned bedding. The master suite even includes its own shower room located on the upper level, finishing the interior to that of a hotel standard. To admire the beautiful exterior, why not spend an hour or two in the garden which features its own patio area, a pleasant suntrap to take in the peaceful surroundings. Explore the picturesque cobbled alleys and squares or enjoy some of the events and festivals that take place each year, particularly Shrewsbury's 'Summer Season', which caters for every age and interest. The town offers a diverse selection of independent and high street shops, along with plenty of cafes, bars, restaurants and pubs. Visit NT's stately Attingham Park, an elegant 18th century mansion, Wroxeter Roman City, the museums at Ironbridge, the castle and Michelin starred restaurants of Ludlow, or Acton Scott working farm. The perfect holiday destination.

Shrewsbury is a historic town in Shropshire, famed for its black-and-white buildings, castle and abbey. The town was the birthplace of Charles Darwin, and offers a very good selection of shops, restaurants and bars, along with museums, galleries and the new Theatre Severn. The River Severn is a focal point of the town, offering pleasant riverside walks and pleasure boat trips. From Shrewsbury it is easy to enjoy some of Shropshire's best attractions, from the mansion and deer park at NT Attingham Park, to the ten museums at Ironbridge.
