4 Bedroom Property for Sale in BISHOPS CASTLE

Bishops Castle is a historic market town dating back to 792 AD, lying approximately 20 miles south west from Shrewsbury, close to the Welsh Border, The Marches, and is well placed for access to the beautiful Welsh Coast to the west, and to the east, the West Midlands and beyond.

Bishops Castle is a lively town with facilities including a primary and secondary school, a leisure centre with swimming pool, a small cottage hospital, doctors, dentist, a good range of shops and businesses, a church with Norman tower, and public houses, two of which brew their own beer. Sadly, the castle from which it derives its name, is no longer in existence.

A copy of the Home Information Pack for this property is available for inspection at the Bishops Castle Office.
