The former Station hotel is available for letting

A former hotel in Shrewsbury has been put on the market to let after being completely refurbished.

The Station Hotel, in Castle Foregate, is available for £40,000 per annum for the whole building.

The hotel occupies a prominent position in the town opposite Shrewsbury Train Station.

It has 10 en-suite bedrooms, a bar/restaurant and an area suitable for take-away use at the rear in Chester Street Pooks Commercial Property Consultants have been instructed to let the building.

Alessio Dyfnallt, from Pooks, is handling the letting.

He said: “The Station Hotel provides a great opportunity for someone wishing to take on premises which have been refurbished to a high standard with scope to further develop the restaurant and take-away provision if desired.”

In February last year the building was put up for sale for £250,000.

The hotel was empty for several months following the closure of the Castelo Mediterranean restaurant.

Shrewsbury historian David Trum-per said the Station Hotel site had had a pub on it since the 18th century. He said the original pub was burned down in 1856 and a new pub built on the site.
