Built by Richard Prynce between 1578 and 1582, Whitehall mansion was situated on land confiscated from Shrewsbury Abbey during the Dissolution of the Monasteries and quite possibly constructed using building materials taken from the demolished elements of Shrewsbury Abbey. The Mansion is one of the most important Listed residential landmark buildings within the county town of Shrewsbury and designated Grade II*. Whitehall Mansion is described by British Heritage, as ‘A fine and significant example of a late sixteenth century house’.

The main stone building was converted into 8 apartments in approximately 2005. Apartment 4 occupies the majority of the elevated ground floor. This large, important and gracious apartment was purchased by the current owners in 2022, as a full refurbishment project and with the guidance of Local Architects in collaboration with the local conservation department, has been extensively and lovingly restored and refurbished. The apartment was never intended to be resold and despite being furnished has never been occupied since works were completed and is now being offered for sale. The property has been refurbished throughout using the finest of materials with cut oak floors throughout (only interrupted with sold marble), finest porcelain wall tiles, with additions and alterations seamlessly blending with original features to include the two important and historical listed statement fireplaces to the main living room and also the generous family kitchen. The services to the apartment have been replaced and essential modern living has been incorporated, with the provision of fibre internet being routed through the apartment with Wi-Fi and cat 5 cabling. Every effort has been made to retain and enhance period features to include the sourcing of historic timber mouldings, refurbishing shutters and employing specialists to recreate features to include the plaster moulded cornicing where missing.

Originally the immediate setting of Whitehall Mansion was dominated by the adjacent 1960s office building to the rear, but has recently been enhanced by the Whitehall Gardens housing scheme, by respected regional developers Shropshire Homes, which is now well advanced. With the benefit of two secure parking spaces, the apartment offers one of the most important and luxurious apartments in the county yet within walking distance of historic Shrewsbury town centre but also benefitting from good local facilities. The Guardian named Shrewsbury one of its 'Happiest Places to Live in 2025' and the top town in the Midlands. The popularity of the town grows year on year.
