Fantastic new homes in Shrewsbury
Weir Hill Gardens is our new collection of homes in a fantastic location in Shrewsbury in Shropshire. The development consists of two, three, four and five-bedroom homes and is ideal for first-time buyers, downsizers and growing families alike.
Shrewsbury is the county town of Shropshire, so it's always been an important focal point for the area. It's served by several main routes, including the A5 which joins the M54 just beyond Telford, which in turn goes on to join the M6 at Junction 10A.
The River Severn winds its way around the old heart of the town, adding riverside walks to the beautiful old buildings of the historic town centre. There are shops, restaurants, cafés, and parks to enjoy, and a strong visitor economy keeps the town busy. It's just a 10-minute drive to the town centre from Weir Hill Gardens so it's easy to make the most of all that's on offer.
Changes to Stamp Duty for first time buyers mean that from 31st March 2025, the exemption threshold will be lowered from £425,000 to £300,000.
Find out how this could affect you, and how much you could save by making your move before then.
