Chapel Street, Billericay, Essex, CM12 9LT

HERE'S A GREAT OPPORTUNITY TO ACQUIRE THE FREEHOLD OF THIS GRADE II LISTED COMMERCIAL PROPERTY, A NOTABLE PART OF BILLERICAY HISTORY.

Spanning over 600 sq. ft., this two-story property features a generously sized ground floor, an additional first floor with a rear balcony, and an enclosed loft space showcasing remarkable beamwork, including a crown post. If exposed, these architectural details would elevate the first floor to an extraordinary level.

In addition, the property boasts outdoor space, including a courtyard area, two external WCs, and a dedicated parking space. Subject to planning, the potential for a small extension into the courtyard could significantly expand the ground floor area, enhance the balcony space and not impact upon the parking.

Most recently known as Fleur De Lees, the Florist, this distinguished property offers excellent commercial prospects, benefitting from its prime location with views over Billericay High Street, the Monument, and its highly regarded neighbouring establishments, Felix Restaurant and Chequers Pub.

For those envisioning residential possibilities, subject to planning, this building has the potential to become a spectacular character home.

Steeped in history, this property is said to have been a meeting place for our local Pilgrims in 1620 before their departure on the Mayflower voyage. Now, over 400 years later, it still stands proudly, awaiting its next chapter.
