The former home of Shrewsbury builders merchants Travis Perkins has been sold to a residential development company.
Offers of around £750,000 had been invited for the six and a half acre site in Wood Street, Greenfields, which became available after Travis Perkins relocated to Vanguard Way on the Battlefield Enterprise Park.
The site, which also offers almost 40,000 sqft of buildings, had been jointly marketed by Towler Shaw Roberts and Halls Commercial, attracting much interest.
While it has an established commercial use, the site also offers scope for commercial or residential development subject to planning, which meant it was much in demand from interested parties.
TSR’s Amie Lingwood, who completed the sale, said: “It’s an important site for Shrewsbury and there’s some exciting plans for it.
“There are few sites of this nature available in Shrewsbury, so we expected a good level of interest and we are very pleased to have now completed a significant sale in the town.
“It certainly stimulated a lot of interest to the point where we had to go to best and final offers.
“It’s been sold it to a residential development company, who are now looking at different options for the site.”
