The agent said: "The freehold property comprises an attractive period two/three-storey building currently arranged as a primary education centre."

They add that it is located approximately four miles south of Telford, on the east side of Dale Road, in an attractive location. Nearby occupiers include Co-op Food, and a number of museums and other attractions.

Aspris Telford School, formerly Priory Telford School, is an independent day school.

Its website says the school specialises in providing specialist education services to 14 young people between the ages of 11 and 19 years, with social, emotional and mental health difficulties and additional needs.

"Our aim is to build the resilience and skills of the young people that we support, to enable an independent, fulfilled life beyond education," they add.
