Last month the owners of Bodenhams in Ludlow revealed their decision to sell the striking black and white property.The building is being marketed by Shrewsbury-based Halls Commercial, with an asking price exceeding £1 million.Hall said the Bodenhams business, which has been a mainstay in Ludlow since 1860, is also available for purchase by separate negotiation.
“Viewing is highly recommended to appreciate the character, size and the potential of the property, which is located in the prime retail location within the retail hierarchy serving Ludlow town centre.” The ground and first floor provide retail sales areas and ancillary accommodation while the second floor is used as stores and ancillary accommodation.
Further owned by many prestigious Ludlow families over the next 400 or so years, William Bodenham acquired the shop in 1860.
