So, where’s hot in Shropshire right now?

Top of the list is Hanwood, Pontesbury and Minsterley, a trio of charming communities just outside Shrewsbury.

They’re not the only areas catching buyers’ attention, though. The full list includes a mix of locations, each with their own unique appeal, from excellent schools and green spaces to thriving local communities. Including: Copthorne, Bowbrook, Bayston Hill, Atcham, Apley, Leegomery, Cosford, Albrighton, Wem, Wrockwardine Wood, Trench and Harlescott Grange.
