Summary - Wood Street, Shrewsbury, SY1 2PN SY1 2PN
1 bed 1 bath Light Industrial
Rare 6.61-acre brownfield opportunity near Shrewsbury town centre, redevelopment potential STP.
Freehold former builders merchants and distribution centre site
A substantial freehold light-industrial site extending to approximately 6.61 acres (2.67 ha) with industrial/commercial buildings of about 29,775 sqft (2,766 sqm) and extensive concrete/tarmac open storage and circulation areas. The former builders’ merchants and distribution centre sits just off Ellesmere Road (A528), around one mile north of Shrewsbury town centre, offering direct access to major routes A49 and A5 and good rail links.
The site presents clear commercial and investment potential: a large, level brownfield plot suitable for continued industrial use, consolidation into a single occupier facility, or commercial/residential redevelopment subject to planning (STP). Its size and layout give scope for significant schemes, surface storage, or phased redevelopment while retaining operational use during planning and works.
Buyers should note material constraints. The property is a brownfield site in an ageing urban neighbourhood; buildings require repair and parts of the site are vacant and partly degraded. There is a medium flood risk for the area, and any change of use will need planning consent and potentially environmental or remediation works. Surrounding residential areas may influence design, access and planning outcomes.
For an investor or developer seeking a strategic Shrewsbury holding, this site offers scale, location and flexibility. The sale of a rare multi-acre urban plot so close to the town centre is a distinct opportunity, but realistic budgets should account for refurbishment, remediation and planning processes before occupation or redevelopment.
