*** Details Of Planning Approval - Rossendale Borough Council, Ref 2024/0448 ***

A rare opportunity to acquire one of Rossendale's iconic town centre buildings, WITH PRIOR APPROVAL FOR CONVERSION OF UPPER FLOORS TO APARTMENTS IF DESIRED, offering stunning period features to the exterior architecture. Typical of outstanding 1930s construction, the building has been sympathetically upgraded and as such, is considered one of the best examples and combinations of high street premises with excellent modern interiors present in Rawtenstall today.

Built in 1932, this three storey stone built commercial property occupies a superb position, with expansive display windows fronting directly on to the towns busiest roadway. Situated at No 3. Bank Street and facing St. Marys Way, the building benefits from replacement uPVC double glazed windows, replaced by renowned window manufacturers Crittall, to be indistinguishable from those they originally fitted, yet offering all the benefits of energy efficient modern units.

Internally, many original internal features are retained, including grand and ornate feature staircases with large open plan spaces perfect for retail or leisure uses. Extending over all three floors, accommodation includes various areas as per the floor plans contained within our listing and laid out over ground, first and second floors.

Our client has owned and maintained the building to an excellent standard and as a result, the premises are suitable for immediate use subject to a purchasers requirements, while there is significant scope for further development to suit a variety of uses, such as leisure, catering or retail, (subject to any necessary consents of course).
