The borderland town of Oswestry is where Shropshire meets Wales, and is a town that is steeped in history, myth and legend. Today the influence of Wales is still felt and you'll hear a blend of languages as you walk around the town. Rich in history, Oswestry is a vibrant and vital market town - the largest in the Borderlands. Local estate agents in Oswestry say one of the reasons the town is popular is because it is within commuting distance of Shrewsbury, Chester, Liverpool and Manchester, via the A5. There is a wide range of houses for sale in Oswestry, including Grade II listed Georgian farmhouses, large detached Victorian properties, 1930’s detached houses and centrally located executive family homes. In the villages on the outskirts of Oswestry there are barn conversions, properties with equestrian facilities and large country residences with substantial gardens.
Amenities for properties in Oswestry
Oswestry has two markets - one in town at the Horse Market & Bailey Head. The other, outside town, is the Oswestry Smithfield livestock auctions. If you fancy fresh farm produce and home-made foodstuff, and you’re a bargain-hunter, you'll enjoy market day immensely. The meeting of cultures in Oswestry sparks a certain creativity, and the local crafts reflect this. Anglo-Welsh designs can be found in the shops and at the craft centres at Llangedwyn Mill and at Melverley. Families considering Oswestry property will discover the town has a good range of primary and secondary schools within the immediate catchment area, as well as Walford and North Shropshire College and The Marches Technology College. On the leisure front, there are golf courses, local football and cricket clubs, plus shopping opportunities in the town centre. For more extensive leisure and shopping facilities, Wrexham, Shrewsbury and Chester are all within half an hour’s drive. For walks, the breathtaking scenery of the nearby Welsh mountains will invite you to take to the hills.
