Arden House on Trevor Hill in Church Stretton was built by the former mayor of Shrewsbury in 1903 and sits in an elevated position near Carding Mill Valley within a plot extending to just half an acre.
The current owners have resided at the property for 12 years and have renovated and extended the building to create a home and four separate, self-contained apartments. However, these can be used as one larger dwelling.
The property was re-listed on the market with Knight Frank estate agents on Tuesday with a price reduction to its previous listing. Arden House now has a guide price of £1.1 million.
The listing said: "Whilst providing a beautiful home for the owners, the apartments provide a great business that has scope to further develop and enhance if run on a more commercial basis.
"The ground floor has the grand entrance hall off which are large and elegant rooms that include period features, character and charm with the large drawing room and dining room being as part of the original layout, with a fantastic kitchen/breakfast/family room to the rear of the house with doors out on to the terrace. Upstairs is a superb bedroom suite with a large bathroom.
"Accessed off a separate hallway to the side of the house are two one bedroom apartments known as Darwin and Mackintosh. Each is beautifully appointed and has a well-fitted kitchen, open plan sitting/dining room and double bedroom with en-suite shower room.
"The Turret apartment is the largest and spans the entirety of the top floor, with an independent access from the terrace at the rear of the building. Extending to approximately 100 sq metres, it has a large open plan kitchen/dining and sitting room with three bedrooms including one en-suite shower room and a separate bathroom. There are stairs to the the roof terrace from which there are exceptional views over the town and the surrounding hills."
The gardens and grounds are described as "charming" and feature mature trees, pathways and terraces connecting the property at various levels.
These create a wonderful setting with private areas for the owners to enjoy and for guests to take in the beautiful surroundings.
The listing adds that there are two car parks capable of accommodating cars for the owners and guests.
The car park on the top has also been granted planning permission to have an open-fronted car port built.
