Description
A Grade II Listed commercial building, on the popular Tilehouse Street, which has planning for conversion into a three or four bedroom house. The property is in a conservation area and the building has approximately 1300 sq. ft. of accommodation including a proposed covered balcony area.
Currently being used as a locally renowned Piano Shop and Showroom the building dates back to the 17th century and was originally built as a warehouse being converted in the 1890's into offices and a showroom for Francis Newton Builders.
The property has full planning permission and listed building consent for change of use from the commercial building to a residential home comprising a three-bed dwelling. It also has full planning permission for conversion into a four-bed with an outdoor balcony area.
As it is presently a commercial building it will not be suitable for a residential mortgage.
Property Details - The property is laid out for it's current use as a Piano Shop and Workshop (although will be sold with vacant possession). To the front of the ground floor is a large shop front window with raised floor for displays and the otherwise open plan ground floor features many beams. Towards the back there is a door to the rear external and enclosed courtyard. Stairs lead up to the first floor which features a vaulted ceiling and three beautiful Gothic style windows to the front as well as double doors opening to access the crane that used to hoist up the pianos to this upstairs showroom. Glass partitions create a light filled office in the back corner and on the other side there is currently a small kitchenette and separate W/C. Externally along with the Gothic windows the upper storey is rendered with mock Tudor framing overall making it one of Hitchin’s quirkiest buildings.
The proposed conversion retains the exterior features and includes an open plan kitchen / living area showcasing the original shop front window with views of the historic street. There is also a separate utility, study & W/C on the ground floor perfect for working from home. The first floor features a well proportioned master bedroom with dressing area and ensuite. There are either two or three further bedrooms, one with ensuite and a separate bathroom. A real feature is the potential outdoor balcony area accessed from bedroom 3/4. A parking space is provided further up Tilehouse Street behind no 84.
