River views for new site in Shrewsbury

Barratt Chester is creating the ultimate lifestyle with its new Shrewsbury development, Severn Meadow. Residents on this unique site have the added luxury of being able to stroll along the banks of the river Severn, just beyond their own private landscaped gardens; or wander into Shrewsbury town centre just a few minutes away.

The redevelopment of the Severn Meadow site provides a major opportunity for the town of Shrewsbury because of its townscape and landscape importance. Severn Meadow is one of the final new residential developments planned along the river frontage.

The site was designed by local architect Andrew Arrol who decided that the overall layout of Severn Meadow should consist of open-ended rectangular ‘squares' similar to those in Brighton, Bath and Bristol. This allows for a combination of communal public spaces and maximises river views.

A three-storey terraced house has always been a popular component of Shrewsbury's residential housing and indeed the very character of the town. The design for Severn Meadow introduces a new format of three-storey terraced homes that incoporates much of the admired Eighteenth Century originals, with many having the benefit of patio terraces and conservatories at roof level. Townhouses form the central spine of the crescent and at the corners of each square there are T-shaped blocks which consist of two bedroom apartments.

Occupying land once used as gardens by Shrewsbury Abbey, and later occupied by Shrewsbury Town Football Club, Severn Meadow is surrounded by well-established trees and shrubbery that supports a wide range of wildlife. Importantly, the development is being built well-above the Severn's highest recorded flood levels in accordance with in-depth consultations with The Environment Agency and local authority planners.

You can view plans for the site at the on-site sales office and it's possible to make off-plan reservations now; current market prices are around £464,950 for a four-bedroom townhouse with a balcony.
