Freehold Residential Development Opportunity

The site is approximately 0.19 hectares in size ( 0.48 acres) and comprises a vacant former bingo hall and cinema. The existing unused building rises to 6 storeys in height and heavily influences the character of the local high street shops directly opposite. The property was formerly a bingo hall extending to 20,715 sq. ft. (1,924.53 sqm) over ground, mezzanine, first and second.
The vernacular of the area is generally dwellings with heights of 2-3 storeys and over, with all immediate neighboring buildings having a substantial building footprint, such as The Village Green Inn. The local area is very urban and built up, with the 5-road junction being a district centre with many individual and local shops, pubs and restaurants.
Both Streetly Road and Marsh Lane are wide tree lined boulevards with setback buildings providing a calm, generous and open character to the area. The existing 6 storey bingo hall benefits from the tree lined boulevards.
