Description
An opportunity to acquire a deceptively large mixed-use property in the heart of Ramsey town centre. The building is predominantly of brick construction beneath pitched roof, but with a substantial flat roof to the rear. It has recently been used by a charity shop who occupied the ground floor retail space, whilst the first and second floors of the property were last used as a self contained flat. The property is now in need complete refurbishment as part of the approved planning scheme.
The property has a current gross internal area of approximately 516m² (5,552ft²)
Planning permission was granted on the 21st February 2019 for the conversion of the existing shop to 2 self contained shops, conversion of the existing ground floor offices to a one bedroom flat, and the demolition of the existing flat roof extension to the rear with extensions and alterations to form 4 No. further 1 and 2 bedroom flats to the rear.
To the rear of the existing building is a generous yard which is accessed via Great Whyte.
Full details of the approved scheme can be found on Huntingdonshire District Council website: 17/02196/FUL.
Auctioneers Note
The area immediately above the shops did not form part of the above application and has been most recently used as a self-contained flat, having previously been granted planning permission for 3 flats as part of planning application ref: 0702281FUL. The permission was granted on the 26th March 2008. Some works were undertaken following the 2008 permission, but it is believed that this earlier planning permission has since lapsed.
There may be scope for a purchaser to combine the schemes (STP) or make a new application for the space above the front retail unit.
