Retail Property (high street)

Large commercial premises spread over three floors plus basement. The property is located on a pedestrianised town centre street surrounded by similar commercial and mixed commercial/residential properties, just a short distance from the St Helens town centre regeneration area. The property is late Victorian, originally known as Borough Chambers and has housed financial and professional services businesses since around 1880 with an ornate and imposing frontage. The property comprises open plan ground floor showroom with a number of separate individual rear offices and utility areas. There is a staircase from an inner hallway that provides access to a first floor landing with toilet facilities, two large offices to the front and rear and a third office to the rear inside the outrigger. From the landing a further staircase leads to the second floor with two attic storage rooms. To the rear is a small courtyard with gated access to Claughton Street via a ginnel. The property has a commercial gas boiler within the basement feeding radiators and heating pipes to the ground and first floor that are supplemented by ground floor electric panel heating. The property would suit commercial use, or redevelopment into residential or mixed commercial/residential use subject to the appropriate consents.
