Situation:
The property occupies a prominent position within the heart of the Lincolnshire market town of Gainsborough. This prominent thoroughfare to the primary retail area of Gainsborough’s market place is well positioned to capture passing trade on foot with nearby retailers including B&M, Halifax Bank, Barries Antique Stores, Travel Agents, News Agents, Fast Food Take Aways, Restaurants and Public Houses. Gainsborough is well positioned for access to the surrounding towns of Scunthorpe and Retford and the cities of Lincoln and Doncaster.
Description:
A wonderful opportunity to acquire this historic and well-proportioned, mixed-use property with versatile accommodation arranged over four floors.
The front retail shop is ready to let and the rest of the building is in need of improvement works yet retains many fantastic and original features and would work for a variety of different uses subject to the necessary consents.
The adjacent property (formerly a fast food take away) recently sold for £95,000 and this property presents an ideal opportunity to continue the restoration of the heritage buildings of Gainsborough. We further understand that West Lindsey District Council have a range of potential grants on offer to assist with the restoration and improvement of this building. For more information, please contact West Lindsey District Council directly.
