Insurance House & The Old Police House, Minsterley Road, Pontesbury, Shrewsbury, SY5 0RS

Offered at auction, this substantial late-19th-century former police station occupies a prominent position in Pontesbury. The property combines the former Police Sergeant’s residence with a range of distinctive spaces associated with its earlier civic use, including holding cells and a first-floor courtroom. It has also been used for both commercial and residential purposes in recent years. To the rear are additional rooms, stores and garaging, a covered former exercise yard and a large parking area. The building is described as having original features and offers scope for renovation and possible alternative uses. The listing suggests that residential conversion, potentially into apartments or individual houses, may be considered subject to the necessary planning permissions and building regulations. Buyers should verify the building’s condition, permitted uses and feasibility of any proposed scheme. Pontesbury’s shops, medical and dental surgeries, library, churches and primary and secondary schools are within walking distance. Shrewsbury and its rail services, along with road links via the A5, are also accessible. The property is being sold by unconditional online timed auction; the auction details and special conditions should be reviewed before bidding.
