Key Features
- Implemented co-living residential planning consent
- Existing premises licence
- Suitable for a variety of uses
- Extremely rare opportunity to buy large city centre freehold
Description
The property, originally a County Court building was more
recently used as a bar and nightclub although has been closed for
a number of years.
The building is arranged over basement, ground, first and second
floors and is in need of complete refurbishment or redevelopment.
The current owners have implemented the planning consent for
change of use to a "Co-Living" scheme and plans and further
information is available from the agents. The premises also benefit
from an existing Premises licence for music and retail of alcohol,
between 10:00 and 23:00 hours Monday to Saturday and 12:00
to 22:30 hours on Sundays. A copy of the licence is available upon
request from the agents but the property lends itself to being developed for a pub or restaurant facility and represents an extremely rare opportunity to buy a large city centre freehold for this use.
