Dating from the 1720s, Abbey House – situated next to Abbey Foregate’s junction with Horsefair and Whitehall Street – was originally built as a residence for once Sheriff of Shropshire, Thomas Jenkins.
It has subsequently been converted and adapted for its use as offices. The substantial Shrewsbury property was sold to a "local investor" in 2023 after offers of around £1.5 million were invited by surveyors, Towler Shaw Roberts.
The latest owners have now suggested that the building is "no longer viable as a commercial property" with an application to turn the property into ten "generous apartments" being submitted to Shropshire Council.
