Priory Street, Monmouth, NP25

Located a short walk from the town centre, this substantial, period, 4 storey, Grade II listed building was originally built as two fine townhouses by The Maddocks brothers. It retains both front entrances and their spiral staircases and a wealth of original features. Used as commercial offices for many years it totals approx. 5000ft2 (456m2) with two floors being rented by regional solicitors.

The building has a painted rendered exterior with decorative string courses and square pillars to the front elevation with inset feature wooden sashed windows to three floors and wooden panelled doors both externally and internally together with moulded skirting boards and architraves throughout. A mains gas boiler in the basement provides domestic hot water and central heating via radiators to some of the building. The current rent being paid is £14,380 PA. Planning permission was gained for apartments on the 3 vacant levels, details can be found on the Monmouthshire County Council site Ref; DC/2013/01030 02 Dec 2014.
