Cooper Green Pooks Commercial Property Consultants of Shrewsbury report instructions to offer to let a recently refurbished self-contained suite of offices, which is arranged over the first floor in one of Shrewsbury’s finest Tudor buildings. Ireland’s Mansion, 29-30 High Street, Shrewsbury, SY1 1SQ. Totalling approx. 142.32 sq m (1,532 sq ft), the office suite is available on a new lease at an asking rent of £18,500 pa.
The property, which is Grade II* listed, was originally built in about 1675 by Robert Ireland, a successful wool merchant. The most ambitious surviving 16th Century timber building in Shrewsbury, it was built partly as property speculation. It was not one house but three, with a large central block (where Robert Ireland lived) and two smaller flanking tenements.
In about 1736, by which time it was known locally as ‘Ireland’s Folly’, it was sold to the Tory politician Corbet Kynaston. In 1738 Ireland’s Mansion was bringing in about £60 p.a. in rent – at that time an annual income of £50 was enough to ‘live a comfortable lower-middle-class life’. From Kynaston it was to pass to the Corbets of Sundorne, eventually being sold in 1907-08.
Thus for over 300 years Ireland’s Mansion, perhaps the most prestigious speculative property ever built in “England’s finest Tudor town”, was to provide a useful source of rental income for members of the local gentry.
The recent high quality refurbishment has included installation of category II lighting, carpets, window blinds and full gas central heating whilst retaining the inherent character of the property. The specification also includes Cat 6 data cabling throughout to data cabinet, a fully fitted kitchen with integral fridge and dishwasher and full LED lighting with auto movement sensors. Access is directly off High Street through an arched doorway and into a shared ground floor reception with a stunning staircase leading to the offices.
Alessio Dyfnallt, Commercial Director at Cooper Green Pooks, who is handling the letting, said “Ireland’s Mansion offers a rare opportunity to occupy high quality office space in a stunning historic building in the very heart of Shrewsbury town centre, with many of the original period features having been retained adding to its charm. Parking is available by separate negotiation which is an added benefit as parking is often difficult to find when renting in the town centre. We would recommend interested parties contact us to arrange early viewing as we expect to receive considerable interest.”
