A rare half-acre town-centre development site in Market Drayton, anchored by a six-storey landmark known as The Tower (built 1899) and offering 11,424 sq ft of internal floorspace across varied brick-built structures. The site has direct Cheshire Street access, an external yard with parking and a detached steel-framed unit — useful for short-term income or storage during redevelopment. Broadband is fast and mobile signal excellent.
The Tower is Grade II listed and much of the site is listed by attachment; this gives character but will restrict alterations and add consent complexity. The property has previously housed a gym (D2) and a removals business (B8) and therefore suits a range of commercial or mixed residential/commercial schemes, subject to statutory consents. The large plots and frontage present strong scope for comprehensive redevelopment or owner occupation.
Buyers should note material constraints: listed status will complicate works and likely increase build costs; the local area records high crime and very high deprivation indicators, which may affect certain residential values and lettability. The buildings are varied in construction and age, and some elements will need significant refurbishment or rebuilding. This is a specialist development opportunity best suited to experienced investors or developers able to navigate heritage consents and carry-out substantial works.
