Maine Stays / Homes wanted / Shifnal
Homes wanted · ShifnalPut your Shifnal property to work.
We are looking for well-kept houses and flats in Shifnal for guests who are working away from home or between homes.
Who stays
Who would live in your home.
The people who stay in the homes we run are mostly at work all day. They want a quiet street, a kitchen they can cook in and a home that is clean when they arrive.
A guest might be here for a week of commissioning work or three months on a placement. Either way they want the same things: space, quiet and a kitchen.
What works

Here is what we look for when an owner in Shifnal gets in touch.
- Somewhere to park on the drive or the street
