Description

For sale by Under the Hammer online auction on Wednesday 21st October 2026. Head over to our website to download the legal pack, register to bid and see more information.

A Freehold Parcel of Land situated off Church Street in the village of Prees, near Whitchurch, in a mixed residential and commercial area, offering buyers the opportunity to explore a range of potential uses, subject to the necessary planning permission and consents.

The seller has prepared illustrations showing how a padel court could be accommodated on the site, together with an illustrative financial model for operating a single court. These are available for buyers to review. The land may also be of interest to purchasers considering other commercial, leisure or development proposals, subject to the necessary approvals.

Important information: The padel images show a proposed concept, not an existing facility. The financial model is based on assumptions and does not represent actual trading performance or a guaranteed return. Buyers should satisfy themselves as to the site boundaries, access, services, permitted use and suitability for their intended scheme.

Prees is a village just off the A49, around five miles south of Whitchurch and five miles east of Wem, with a convenience store, post office, primary school, doctor's surgery and public houses. Prees railway station on the Shrewsbury to Crewe line serves the area, and the A49 gives access to Shrewsbury to the south.

Flood Risk

Environment Agency open data, checked around the advertised map pin for the listed acreage. Long-term risk counts flood defences; the planning map's flood zones do not. The map pin for this listing marks the postcode area rather than the exact location, so these readings describe the surrounding area. Provided by LandSale, not the listing agent, and not part of the agent's particulars. Risk varies across a holding, so verify before committing.

Rivers and the sea

Very low risk

Planning map: Flood Zone 1.

Surface water

Medium to low risk (1 in 100 to 1 in 1000)

These bandings are the summary. Where this location sits on the flood maps, plus planning activity, heritage and ground risks, is in the full report.

Important notice: Information, maps and tags on this page are drawn from the advertising agent's marketing materials or generated automatically. LandSale has not verified them. Relying on these details is at your own risk, always carry out independent checks before committing to a purchase.
