Oswestry, Shropshire's third largest town, with a former Borough population of approximately 33,0000, and town population of approximately 17,500, has a wealth of character and facilities to offer. There are a range of multiple retailers in the town, to include Boots, Superdrug, W H Smith, Poundland, Prezzo, Home Bargains, Costa, Greggs, and most banks still operating.

Excellent location on the A5, giving it fast access to the motorway network, Manchester, Liverpool and Birmingham.

A historic town with a vibrant town centre. Oswestry is also set in beautiful Shropshire Borderland countryside and offers many attractions and advantages. These premises are situated in a quiet, secluded position, but set off the prime part of Church Street in the town centre. Vehicular access off Church Street via an archway, opposite the popular Festival Square, now known for its cafes/bars with outside seating.

BUILDING DESCRIPTION AND POTENTIAL

A former traditionally built, brick and stone Smithy, with a pitched slated roof, the premises were purchased and thoroughly repaired and refurbished by the current owners around 25 years ago, specifically for the purpose of music and sound recording studio.

The building is not listed, but it was refurbished with the highest classical design principles in mind, and to be sensitive to the building's original historic purpose, where possible. As a result it received a Civic Society Award at the time. One of the building's main features are the original cast iron windows.

As a sound studio, there are many features of the building which are necessary for this purpose in situ, which either can remain or be adapted, or removed as necessary to alter the building for alternative uses, in our opinion, very few fundamental changes needed in any case. There is much potential for a variety of commercial uses, such as offices clinic, possible restaurant/bar/hospitality, and for residential, it would make a 4-5 bedroom dwelling, townhouses or apartments, all subject to planning permissions.
