Situation
Ironbridge is a renowned and historic area nestling in The Severn Gorge which forms one of the most striking and distinctive landscapes in England, with a charming town centre adjoining the River Severn and the slopes of The Gorge combining a delightful mix of imposing, detached period residences mingling with charming cottages up the hillside. This remarkable area was at the heart of the Industrial Revolution and became world famous in 1779 when the world’s first iron bridge was constructed over the River Severn and from which the town derives its name.  It is steeped in the industrial heritage of the area with local museums forming part of the World Heritage Site and is now recognised as a premier tourist area.  Some five miles to the north is the excellent range of shopping and recreational facilities at Telford town centre, together with the railway station and M54.

Church Hill comprises a pleasant mix of a variety of period properties running up from the end of High Street with some having majestic views across Ironbridge and The Gorge.

 

The property
Forms part of an original mansion house constructed circa 1841 when Ironbridge was experiencing its first flush of prosperity encouraged by the completion of the Iron Bridge and links to the south of the river in 1779.

The family of Captain Webb, the celebrated swimmer lived here circa 1870 and then much later in time the original mansion house was used by the Ironbridge Gorge Museum Trust.  The property was later converted into individual properties in the 1970’s by the Telford Development Corporation. The property has many character features including exposed floorboards, high ceilings, decorative period style coving, fireplaces and period style windows.
