Description - A former Jewish Synagogue located in Hanley city centre that measures approximately 230 sq.m. The vendor has commissioned indicative drawings outlining the properties potential for conversion to 10 apartments.

The property features extended land to the rear which has the potential for off road parking.

The property may suit a range of alternative uses, commercial or residential development (subject to planning). it is important that all interested parties rely on their own due diligence on this matter.

Location - The property is located on the eastern edge of Hanley city centre. The surrounding property mix is highly diverse and undergoing urban regeneration, blending period ground-floor offices, traditional red-brick terraced housing, and modern multi-bedroom house shares targeted at professionals and students. Its central location provides immediate proximity to city centre amenities, putting national retailers, restaurants, bars, and leisure venues just a short walk away. For travel and road connectivity, the property benefits from being a stone's throw from the Hanley City Centre Bus Station for extensive local public transport, while motorists have quick access to the vital A500 D-road, linking the site directly to the wider Stoke-on-Trent area and the M6 motorway network.
