Description

This spacious, detached single-storey building, dating from the early 1960s, offers a distinctive blend of mid-century modern design and practical functionality. Built with a steel portal frame, external cladding, and brickwork, it features striking floor-to-ceiling windows (over 6m high) on the front elevation, giving it a bold and memorable presence.

Internally, the property provides flexible accommodation, including meeting rooms, offices, kitchen areas, WC facilities, and plant rooms, making it suitable for a wide range of commercial uses. The layout offers generous space for both private and communal functions, complemented by a welcoming entrance lobby.

The site also includes open land to the front, with pedestrian access from the public highway and a mature tree that enhances the setting. The plot lends itself to potential comprehensive residential redevelopment for various housing or living arrangements.

With its strategic location, adaptable internal configuration, and ample parking, this property presents an excellent opportunity for numerous commercial uses.
