And if you are embarking on a project with bats then you may find this article on <a href=\"https:\/\/renovateme.co.uk\/blog\/bat-survey-planning-permission\/\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">bat survey<\/span><\/a> helpful.<\/p>\n<p><strong>But what\u2019s so special about Shrewsbury ?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Well, it\u2019s hardly surprising that renovation projects are sought after in the medieval market town which prides itself on preserving its past and not building on it! And it\u2019s probably this unfettered history which is why troops of tourists visit with many deciding to stay and become Salopians themselves. The main town centre with its black and white Tudor buildings and winding cobbled streets are a real crowd pleaser with both tourists and residents, so too is the healthy ratio of independent shops to main high street names with Wyle Cop mooted to have the longest uninterrupted row of independent shops in the UK.<\/p>\n<p>Nestling in the heart of the town is the beautiful River Severn, which sits inside the loop of the river and gives the location its unique shape. The river plays host to an annual Regatta &#8211; one of the oldest events in the rowing calendar having first been held in 1871. The river also provides a beautiful backdrop to one of the country\u2019s premier flower shows which features television personalities, celebrity Chefs, singers and a magnificent firework display.<\/p>\n<p>Aside from an ample events calendar what makes Shrewsbury properties so attractive for renovators are the schools. Home to many independent schools one of which educated noted naturalist, geologist and biologist Charles Darwin. However, it\u2019s not just the plethora of independent schools that are worth a mention, Shrewsbury\u2019s state schools are ranked among the highest with The Priory and Mary Webb having high average attainment scores across eight subjects including English and Mathematics.<\/p>\n<p>However, if you\u2019re not quite convinced of the town\u2019s charms don\u2019t just take our word for it, the location often features high in the ratings for Best Places to Live in Britain including the Sunday Times list and not forgetting its status as Britain in Bloom 2018 Gold title holder as well as housing Britain\u2019s Favourite Market.<\/p>\n<p>All in all, Shrewsbury is rather a hidden gem for lovers of renovation which we do fear talking about might render this a thing of the past \u2013 so do us a favour \u2013 keep Shrewsbury our little secret!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>While the backdrop of Brexit may be making some people cautious about a potential home move, the renovation market in Shrewsbury seems to be flourishing.&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":1464,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[166],"tags":[70,74,185],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v16.8 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Why Shrewsbury is the place for renovation property but keep it a secret!
