Description
The Treasury Bar, Restaurant & Buildings is a Grade II Listed property on the East end of Plymouth's famous Guildhall. Dating back to 1615, the venue boasts a rich history replete with original features. Surviving the bombings of WW11, the Treasury, once part of the Guildhall, stands as a testament to resilience, having been restored rather than demolished like many other buildings. Serving as a crucial element of the Plymouth Police HQ from 1873 to 1935, remnants of its past, like the original police lamp above the door on Catherine Street, still endure. Following its acquisition by the City Council in 1935, the building transitioned into the City Treasury, where locals once paid their rates. Today, the Treasury offers a relaxed dining experience and houses a well-stocked bar featuring an impressive selection of 35 cocktails and over 150 gins. The grand walk-in strong room remains an intriguing feature within the premises, but is just a small section of what can be garnered within the rest of the building, which remains as per when the doors closed. Currently featuring a range of rooms over 3 floors, our client’s have reached an agreement with the City Council in respect of redevelopment of the site into a boutique hotel / mixed use scheme, with plans being finalised for approval, following a successful pre application. Currently the plans are flexible to provide a range of suites and residential, the latter of which can be up to 35% of the GIA of the building. Already successfully run as a bar / restaurant, the opportunity lends itself to a developer / operator looking for a site in a key strategic location within the city in a truly iconic building, with both our clients and the city council keen to engage on the redevelopment of the site.
