Description
The Morris Hall and The 1 Bellstone Court present a recently designated Grade II listed property, originally constructed in the early 20th century and now incorporates a mix of commercial and residential accommodation. The site includes a series of tenanted office units and a self-contained flat, offering a steady income stream with potential for future enhancement.
Constructed in 1933, the building was named in honour of James Kent Morris (1872–1935), founder of the Morris Company and a well-regarded socialist figure in Shrewsbury’s local history. Architecturally distinctive, the structure was purposefully designed in two complementary styles: A medieval-inspired hall to the north and a Tudor-style façade to the south. While the rear elevation - viewable only from a small private garden - features a simpler design, it was built concurrently with the front, offering additional functional space.
Internally, Morris Hall is richly detailed with period features including intricate wood panelling, ornate joinery, a ribbed ceiling in the main hall and a stone fireplace, above sits a commemorative plaque to J.K. Morris. The grounds are characterful, enclosed by a sandstone wall with decorative gateposts, original lanterns and a stepped stone pathway leading to the entrance.
Adjacent to Morris Hall is Bellstone Court, a two-storey early 20th-century office building
situated within a quiet, well-maintained courtyard in Shrewsbury’s town centre. The
property comprises a range of well-appointed ground and first floor office suites, along
with WC facilities and storage at ground level. All office units are currently fully let, providing reliable rental income and further enhancing the investment profile of the
wider site.
Location
Morris Hall and 1 Bellstone Court are ideally located in the heart of Shrewsbury, positioned behind Bellstone between the Old Bank Buildings and St Chad’s Church. Situated within the town’s historic river loop, just west of the main commercial area, the property is surrounded by a dynamic mix of retail, hospitality, office and residential buildings.
Access is gained via an arched, gated pedestrian passage from Bellstone leading into an enclosed courtyard. Although there is no on-site parking, public parking is conveniently available nearby at Rowley’s Mansion.
