The Square, Gillingham, Dorset, SP8

A stone building currently with commercial use but with exciting residential potential, situated in a tucked away location ideally in the heart of Gillingham.

The Chantry offers an exciting opportunity for both commercial and potentially residential uses. Constructed of local stone under a predominantly tiled roof the building provides over 900 Sq Ft of space currently divided into two main rooms plus a cupboard and two cloakrooms. The largest rooms features an entrance vestibule, a kitchen/reception area with sink and worktop and extends to nearly 50ft providing access to the rear outside space . A later addition to the side provides a further reception room, again with access to the outside space.
The building sits on a large plot of approximately 0.12 acres and enjoys vehicular access and a delightful river frontage. Formerly a playground for a childrens’ nursery, the outside space has the potential to create parking and / or a delightfully landscaped garden. The property is located a stones’ throw from the High Street but in a tucked away location.

The business use class is designated ‘E’ Commercial, Business and Service. A Buyer would have to conduct their own investigations as to a potential change of use for any other commercial or residential use.
