Accommodation Text
The site occupies a prime and prominent position immediately adjacent to Hatfield town centre, offering potential for redevelopment for residential or other suitable commercial uses, subject to the necessary planning consents.
Planning permission was granted in 2018 for a small residential scheme. Although this consent has now lapsed, it demonstrates the potential for residential development at this location. Alternative commercial uses may also be possible, subject to planning.
The property was previously used as a St John Ambulance training facility but has been vacant for a number of years. The existing building is of lightweight timber construction and is not considered suitable for refurbishment or adaptation, with demolition likely to be required.
All main services are connected to the site.
The site is broadly level and benefits from direct highway access via a small one-way road leading off St Albans Road East.
The property is offered for sale with vacant possession.
Due to the condition of the existing building, internal viewings are not possible. Interested parties are invited to inspect the site externally from the public highway.
Freehold with vacant possession. Price £280,000. No VAT payable.
