Shropshire Housing

Hi there! This is my first ish post so I hope it’s alright!

My nan’s looking to move house now she’s getting close to retirement. She has a lot of requirements lol but she loves Shropshire in general and is looking for the right place to move to.

I’m just looking for any suggestions of places that might work well for her.

Her budget is around £180,000 to £190,000 for a two bedroom house. She ideally doesn’t want to be in the middle of a terraced and would like a bit of a garden.

She’s a very very nervous driver so would need somewhere with good train/ transport links around the country (specifically to Wolverhampton/ Birmingham)

She wants a place with fitness classes or a gym (even if it’s just a community centre) as this is a massive part of her life and ideally somewhere with some good markets/ charity shops.

What she wants most of all is peace and quiet though with rural areas around her as she’s lived in a “dodgy” area for most of her life and she wants to get away from lads swearing out on the street at all hours, motorbikes whizzing past and high crime rates.

The places she’s had her heart set on for ages is Central Shrewsbury due to it ticking a lot of boxes for her but she is starting to realise that she may not get exactly what she wants for her budget as she doesn’t want to be in the middle of a terraced, on an estate or on a busy road.

We have places like Bridgenorth and Ludlow on our list but is there anywhere else we should look for her?

Thanks in advance!
