  • Location

    Shrewsbury is the county town of Shropshire but acts as the cultural and economic centre for the county and for a large area of Mid Wales. The town sits on the banks of the River Severn and enjoys a largely unspoilt medieval street plan with many historic buildings including Shrewsbury Castle and a large number of timber framed buildings from the 15th and 16th centuries. It has a population of some 70,000, but supports thriving retail outlets, light industrial parks and distribution centres for the surrounding area. It also enjoys excellent communication links via the A5 and A49 and has five separate railway lines that meet at Shrewsbury Railway Station.

    The subject premises enjoy a prominent location opposite the town’s theatre on the northern banks of the River Severn in Frankwell. This is one of the main thoroughfares leading into the town, just across the Welsh Bridge. The premises forms part of a row of retail and leisure properties. It offers trading areas on ground and first floors and has recently undergone a complete refurbishment: it is now presented in very good order throughout and will require little investment for some time. It is a ‘lock- up’.
