Why everyone loves Copthorne

There are always some really popular places to live in any town. Luckily Shrewsbury is full of them. Copthorne is one of the most sought-after areas when it comes to buying a property.

Favoured by people of all ages, from first-time buyers to those who are upsizing, to those who are downsizing, Copthorne has a great stock of attractive tree-lined roads with houses terraced semis and detached homes dating from the 1920s.

So, what makes an area like Copthorne so popular? In short, it has great amenities, is in the catchment for good schools, is well-placed in the town, and close to the hospital. It also commands great house prices across the board and is a pleasant neighbourhood. Houses in Copthorne often don’t hang around for long. This means if you buy one, you know you it will hold its value and sell well.

If you buy a house in Copthorne you’ll be in catchment for good schools, including linked schools Woodfield Infant School and St Georges Junior School – currently rated Outstanding and Good by Ofsted.

Furthermore, a new school is being built in nearby Bowbrook which is set to open in September 2023. There are also a few nearby nurseries to choose from and the closest secondary school is the highly-rated Priory school.

Copthorne is within walking distance of the Royal Shrewsbury Hospital, one of the county’s two main hospitals. Depending on where you live in Copthorne, you can walk to the town centre in anywhere between 10 and 30 minutes, with the gorgeous Quarry Park being even closer.

Amenities:

In the centre of Copthorne is a protected green and wooded area called Copthorne Park. This can never be built upon and is favoured by walkers and dog walkers.

Next to this is the popular family pub The Beacon which has a large heated and covered outside area in winter, and plenty of uncovered tables for al fresco dining in the summer.

There’s also a shopping complex with a well-stocked Co-Operative supermarket, post office, Boots pharmacy, fish and chip shop and a charity shop.

It’s a thriving community with a great feeling and it’s why so many people choose to make it their home.
