Homes in Bridgnorth
Bridgnorth is a market town split between High Town, on a sandstone cliff above the River Severn, and Low Town on the riverbank. The two are linked by the Cliff Railway, England's steepest inland funicular. High Town has Georgian and timber-framed buildings, many listed, and the town is a conservation area. Some older buildings are built of the local red sandstone, while others are timber framed or brick.
Post-war and newer housing has been added on the town's edges. The sandstone cliff has caves, some once used as homes, and properties near the cliff edge need careful assessment. The Severn floods regularly, affecting Low Town. The Severn Valley Railway runs from Bridgnorth to Kidderminster. Expect strong demand and high prices for period homes. Alveley and Quatford nearby offer village homes. Many older homes have cellars cut into the sandstone.
Areas we cover include High Town, Low Town, Oldbury, Quatford, Alveley.
