Description

Occupying a prominent position close to Buxton town centre, this substantial mixed-use property extends across multiple interconnected buildings, incorporating two spacious three-bedroom houses, extensive ground-floor retail premises, offices, workshops, garages and generous courtyard parking. Arranged over several floors and offering exceptional flexibility, the property presents a rare opportunity for investors, developers or business owners seeking a landmark building with significant future potential. The property is currently held across two separate titles, comprising one Freehold title and one Leasehold title, both of which are included within the sale. EPC Ratings: House One – D, House Two – E, and the Retail and Commercial areas rated D - F.

Professional architectural drawings have been commissioned and will be included within the sale, providing an excellent starting point for purchasers considering redevelopment. The proposals explore the conversion of the existing buildings into several residential units; however, they have not been submitted for planning approval. Prospective purchasers should make their own enquiries and obtain all necessary planning permissions and statutory consents before undertaking any development. Further information, including the commissioned architectural drawings and supporting documentation, will be made available to serious prospective purchasers following an initial discussion with the selling agent.
