Winchester: Freehold office/residential building for sale

Pullen Associates have been instructed to market a freehold office building in Winchester city centre with planning permission for residential conversion.

Richard Pullen, Director of Pullen Associates, says that 'the Grade II listed building provides a unique opportunity to purchase a quality period office building which can also be converted back into to its original residential use'.   The building dates from around 1700, which replaced an earlier building dating back back to 1550.

Richard Pullen says that 'The property is located in Parchment Street, which is close to the pedestrianised High Street.  It has more recently been refurbished as quality offices providing a mixture of open plan and cellular accommodation of about 4,254 sqft (395.21 sq m) arranged on ground, two upper floors plus basement storage accommodation.  The offices have category 5 cabling, category II lighting, carpeting and central heating.  There is a large car park at the rear, some of which is currently let out separately.'   The property also retains many important period features.

Planning permission and listed building consent has been obtained to convert the building back to a single house which would potentially provide 5 bedrooms, with houskeeper's suite/granny flat, together with 4 reception rooms and kitchen plus basement accommodation. 

The property also has a separate planning permission to develop part of the rear car park for the erection of a one and half storey apartment block providing 5x 1 & 2 bedroomed apartments with associated car parking.
