Description - Rich in history and character, this impressive three-storey Grade II listed residence is believed to have been constructed around 1621 by Francis Woolfe. Currently arranged to offer up to 18 offices across its expansive layout, the property presents an exciting opportunity for commercial use or, for the discerning buyer, a remarkable canvas to reimagine as a bespoke private residence.

Upper House stands proudly on Church Street, one of Madeley's most historic locations. The adjoining 17th-century barn adds further intrigue, famed as a hiding place for King Charles II during his escape following the Battle of Worcester.

The property is brimming with period features that echo its long heritage—exposed timbers, mullion and gothic-style windows, chamfered ceiling beams, and a beautiful stone staircase to the rear of the main range. Local lore also suggests the existence of a priest hole within what was once the original drawing room, though this has not been verified.

While the property has more recently been utilised as a suite of offices over three floors, it holds significant potential for transformation. Subject to Listed Building Consent and appropriate planning approval, it could be restored into a grand family home or perhaps redeveloped into a collection of luxury apartments, and has lapsed planning permission to do that.

Viewings are strictly by appointment with the selling agent, and access to the site is prohibited without the agent accompanying prospective purchasers. An Open Day has been scheduled for Wednesday 10th September at 1-3pm.

Location - Located in the well-established residential area of Madeley, the property benefits from a variety of nearby shops and leisure amenities. The UNESCO World Heritage Site of Ironbridge Gorge lies approximately 1.5 miles away. An excellent road network provides convenient access to all parts of the Telford area, including the modern shopping and leisure facilities at Telford Town Centre.
