About this property
Potential scheme comprising commercial and residential
No VAT payable on the sale price
Enclosed car park for approximately 12 vehicles
The building is a detached three-storey property of traditional Lakeland stone construction under a pitched slate roof. Externally, the property benefits from a generous enclosed car park with parking for approximately 12 vehicles.
The accommodation is split into two parts - the majority of the ground floor and the back right-hand corner at first and second floor levels are the former bank premises (Barclays), and the remainder of the building comprises self-contained ground, first and second floor offices. Both parts have their own dedicated access from the front of Crescent Road. In addition, a ramp provides access to the former bank branch.
The ground floor was previously occupied by Barclays Bank. The self-contained unit provides a largely rectangular-shaped sales area, rear offices, a former vault and WCs. The remainder comprises one ground-floor office and various first and second-floor offices.
The external car park is accessed immediately off Crescent Road. With limited parking options in the town centre, this offers a significant opportunity for potential purchasers.
