Description
Thornes Hall is a distinctive feature of Castle Street incorporating design elements inspired by Shrewsbury’s 16th Century architecture. The upper parts have been converted to residential apartments with commercial retail units on the ground floor.
The shop unit benefits from a triple width window frontage plus a feature recessed double width entrance. Internally, the shop presents well with an open layout and a suspended ceiling and is arranged over ground and basement levels.
Location
The property is located on upper Castle Street on the left hand side as you approach from the station. Occupying a prominent trading position in close proximity to Marks & Spencer, H&M and WH Smiths, the property is situated on the main vehicular thoroughfare through Shrewsbury town centre, having the Darwin Shopping Centre, bus and railway stations nearby.
Tesco convenience store, Barclays Bank and the prime shopping pitch of Pride Hill are a short distance away. Short stay on-street car parking and bus stops are in close proximity.
As the county town and administrative centre of Shropshire, Shrewsbury has a borough population of roughly 80,000 (according to previous census), a 5% rise since 2020 and a larger catchment extending into Mid Wales of roughly 600,000 people.
It is strategically situated at the intersection of the A49 from the South of Wales and the A5 trunk road leading to the North of Wales and Telford and Birmingham on the M54.
The town is home to Wyle Cop which is reputedly the longest uninterrupted run of independent traders in the Country. In 2024, Shrewsbury was named number one in the Telegraph’s list of UK’s best high streets. Shrewsbury Market Hall has also been voted ‘Britain’s Favourite Market’ for an “unprecedented” third year running and a record 4th time at the 2025 Great British Market awards.
Given such accolades, it is hardly surprising that Shrewsbury’s High Street attracted record footfall numbers in December 2024 with more than £135million spent by visitors to it’s town centre shops and businesses, outperforming GB benchmarks.
