Substantial five storey Grade II Listed commercial building offering development potential.
24 High Street is a five storey Grade II Listed Building and has been owned by the Vendor's family for four generations, they first commenced trading within the building in 1901. It is an imposing Grade II Listed Building and subject to consent offers huge potential in our opinion for redevelopment. The rear of the property provides an open outlook over the car park towards the Castle and its grounds. For many years it was the premises of County Clothes. In recent years, the Ground Floor and Lower Ground Floor have been utilised as a Café/Restaurant and the Upper Floors as Offices. However, whilst the front section of the Ground Floor may have to remain commercial (perhaps a Shop or Office), the remainder of the spacious building could perhaps be converted into flats, offices, studios or clinics subject to the necessary consents as stated above. The property benefits from its own parking area is accessed from the public car park at the rear. We understand that the the tenants of the café will vacate upon completion, however, negotiations may be possible prior to the sale with regard to creating a new lease if that is of interest to a purchaser. Dimensions below have supplied by our partner agent, please note that we would recommend that any interested party take their own measurements and not rely on what is provided.
