Planning

We understand The Tower section of the property is Grade II listed and the rest of the structures are listed by attachment. Part of the main two-storey section was most recently utilised as a gym with the remaining areas also falling under a commercial use. The site previously had the benefit of planning for residential development, albeit this has now lapsed. However, the site would lend itself to a comprehensive scheme of residential development, subject to thew necessary planning permission. Alternatively, the property does lend itself to continued commercial use or redevelopment for owner occupation. However, interested parties are advised to make their own enquiries in this regard.
