Description
The subject property comprises a substantial detached former sports and social club of traditional masonry construction, extending to approximately 7,622 sq ft (708 sq m) on a regular-shaped site of circa 0.397 acres (0.161 hectares).
Internally, the accommodation is arranged over basement, ground and first floors and provides predominantly open plan space. The layout includes a reception area, ground and first floor bars and function halls, committee rooms, WCs, kitchen facilities and ancillary office accommodation.
The property has been vacant for a period of time and is currently in poor condition, with evidence of recent vandalism. A comprehensive programme of refurbishment would be required prior to reoccupation.
Externally, the site is bound by a combination of fencing and is accessed via swing-action gates, leading to a large, partially surfaced car park and yard area providing ample on-site parking and servicing provision.
The property may be suitable for owner-occupation for a range of community, leisure or alternative uses (subject to the necessary consents). Alternatively, subject to planning permission, the site may offer potential for redevelopment or conversion.
