PROPERTY

TENURE

A substantial Grade II Listed mid terraced building laid out over ground, first and second floor levels. The property has been extended to the rear with both a single and two storey extension. There is also a self-contained two storey office/workshop building to the rear, accessed via a passageway to one side of the property. There is a shared passageway to the other side of the building from the High Street providing access to a side door leading to the upper floors. This attractive side entrance would provide access to upper floors, whether this is retained for commercial use or alternatively converted into a number of residential units. In our view this could be split into up to 3 units.

The property is available freehold subject to the lease of the ground floor of the property. This part of the building is let on a 5 year lease, with about 3 years unexpired at the current rent of £19,000 per annum. The remainder of the building will be sold with vacant possession on completion to allow a purchaser to undertake their own plans for these parts of the building in order to maximise income. In our view the remaining parts of the building could generate a further £15,000 per annum in net income, once the conversion work is undertaken on the upper floors of the building.
