A DEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITY (SUBJECT TO PLANNING CONSENT)

This vacant two-storey brick and tile building together with an adjoining yard providing private parking, is located in the heart of the town and offers an excellent opportunity for redevelopment (subject to planning consent). Although two storeys in height, the first-floor joists and staircase have been removed leaving just an outer shell and roof. It is considered that it would now be suitable for conversion to residential use or for continued use as a workshop/warehouse.

Tenure

Freehold with vacant possession upon completion.

Location

The building is accessed off Cross Hill car park and is located to the rear of 23 & 23a Market Place which are commercial premises that are also being offered as an earlier lot in this auction. Driffield is an extremely busy and popular market town located approximately 12 miles north of Beverley. The property occupies a prominent position within Driffield town centre, within the main market square close to the junction between Market Place and Mill Street.

Accommodation

The building internally measures 27'2" x 14'3" (387 sq ft) so when the first floor is reinstated would provide 774 sq ft of accommodation. The yard is a sufficient size to accommodate at least three vehicles.

Rights of Way

There is a pedestrian right of way in favour of neighbouring properties passing over the yard. Please refer to the legal pack for more details
