'Surplus to requirements' - Former youth club off Shifnal A-road up for sale for £500,000
Councillors agreed to sell the building in June this year
A former Shropshire youth club has hit the market after councillors approved plans to “dispose” of the building.
The St Andrews building off the A4169 in Shifnal has been put up for sale for half a million pounds after Shropshire councillors agreed that it was no longer financially viable to retain.
The local authority had previously considered transferring the building, used as a youth club and community hall, to community ownership.
But a survey commissioned by Shifnal Town Council reportedly found it was in such poor condition that redevelopment would represent better value for money than refurbishing it.
Cash-strapped Shropshire Council said the disposal would generate capital that would help support its financial recovery.
Now, the one-acre site is on the market and is being advertised by Andrew Dixon and Co for £500,000.
The advert states that the property, which features a “concrete frame youth centre building [with] open hall space, garage stores, store, kitchen and WC facilities” is “surplus to requirements”.
The full advert is available to view online on andrew-dixon.co.uk
