The accommodation provides a range of large halls, meeting rooms, ancillary accommodation, kitchen facilities, WC provisions, offices and storage areas arranged over ground and first floor levels.
The property extends to approximately 577 square metres (6,208 sq ft) and benefits from substantial internal volumes suitable for a variety of alternative uses, subject to planning.
A feasibility study by Donald Insall Associates has already demonstrated the potential for sympathetic conversion and redevelopment, making this an outstanding proposition for developers, conversion specialists, community organisations and owner–occupiers alike.
