The first of the two brand new eco-homes on West Castle Street is a spacious two bedroom property with private courtyard garden which will be finished to a superb standard inside and out.

According to a report for "inside housing", as many as 77% of buyers in the market are considering a green home as their new property with environmental concerns being the key driver for this.

Both this and the neighbouring new build have been designed and built with this very much in mind.

9a has been fitted with Mechanical Ventilation with Heat Recovery (MVHR) This system keeps heat in whilst continuously circulating fresh air.

As a by product of the insultation used, the house will keep warm in the winter and cool in the summer.

The internal photographs show the inside of another property build by the developer which is the same house type and layout so provides an excellent indication of the finished product. The external images are of this development however.

The open plan layout on the ground floor provides great versatility and the fitted kitchen has a built in over, hob, fridge freezer, dishwasher and washing machine. The dining area then leads in to the living space which has double doors out to the courtyard garden. Really useful storage can be found under the stairs.

Upstairs, there are two double bedrooms both with built in wardrobes. These are then serviced by the main shower room.

The local area enjoys excellent amenities including high street shopping, supermarkets, a wide range of leisure facilities, doctors and dentists. Bridgnorth offers excellent educational facilities boasting four primary schools and two secondary schools.

The ancient market town of Bridgnorth is geographically divided into High Town and Low Town, linked by several sets of historic steps, the famous cliff railway and by Cartway, a meandering street steeped in history.   

The property can be accessed at the side of The Castle Inn which is extremely popular in the town for its food menu.
