Located in North Shropshire, Market Drayton is a traditional Shropshire market town with origins dating back to before the Domesday Book. Modern buildings in the town centre mix with fine examples of 17th century black and white constructions. The town claims to be "home of the gingerbread", which has been produced in the town for over 200 years. Local estate agents in Market Drayton say this is an ideal area for anyone looking for a property with land. As well as the usual selection of houses for sale in Market Drayton you might expect to find, such as a mixture of period cottages, detached Edwardian country houses and modern detached executive style family homes, there are stud farms, dairy farms and small holdings.
