Colne Commercial Centre, Exchange Street, Colne, Lancashire, BB8

Description

The property is a three-storey mid-terrace building of stone construction which was built in 1852 with an extension being added in the early 1900s.

Originally constructed as a school and then utilised as offices, planning permission has now been obtained and implemented for the conversion of the building to form 14 one-bedroom apartments. The adjoining building to the south of the subject property has already been converted into 17 apartments.

Limited construction works have started on the ground and basement levels which are largely in shell condition, having been stripped back to brick with exposed pipework, steel and joists to the ceiling, whilst the first and second floors are further advanced with some of the partitioned apartments being at first fix stage. All of the first and second floor windows have been replaced with double glazed windows.

Electrics and plumbing have been fitted on each of the upper floors, however kitchens and bathrooms are yet to be installed.

Whilst there is no specific demised parking, there is ample on street parking in the immediate vicinity and a public car park opposite.
