Description
Two Handsome adjoining and intercommunicating Period Class E Commercial Buildings in the heart of Aylesbury. Scope for various uses within use class E. For Sale as a whole with Vacant Possession.
On the instructions of the Thomas Hickman Charity
The Gross internal floor area is approx. 7825 sq ft including cellars.
There are a number of period fireplaces, fine mouldings, skirtings and other features. There is parking for two vehicles and a small garden area.
Alternative uses within the same use class (E) are clinics, nurseries shops and restaurants. Subject to planning and Building Regulation, the buildings could be converted to become one or two fine houses or flats.
The buildings were purchased for a specific charitable use which is not now required hence the current offer for sale. The owners have a number of reports they are willing to share with interested parties in the interest of transparency. Inter alia these show that as well as the need for some refurbishment and typical period property maintenance arrears there is the need to replace the first floor joists and supports to the two Westernmost rooms, to replace a dormer here and some roof support. The Engineers also recommend some areas of stitching to the walls.
The property is being sold as it stands and at a sensible guide price to reflect the issues described.
LOCATION
The property is right in the centre of the town where the attractive period buildings of the old town are adjacent the modern Friars Square development. Thus this location is convenient for town centre users with a car park in Friars Square. The railway station with regular services to London Marylebone is within a few hundred yards.
Aylesbury is the fast expanding County Town of Bucks. There is a varied shopping offer. Unlike many towns there are very few empty shops. There are excellent leisure facilities including the Landmark Waterside Theatre.
ACCOMMODATION
Please see the floor plan for the layout of the rooms. It will be noted there are significant rooms which have been divided temporarily to suit the former occupiers space requirements. These could be reinstated. There are gas boilers with radiators throughout. There is also some air conditioning. Noteworthy period features are a substantial front door with its fanlight having three leaded rings; several individual fireplaces; several arched niches and picture rails skirtings and architraves in places. The staircase in the Friarage is particularly grand with panelling believed to be from the Crown Court. The properties also benefit from two parking spaces and a small garden area.
