PROPERTY OVERVIEW This is a really interesting Property Investment Opportunity in the heart of Market Drayton, comprising of the impressive Clarence House which is currently six Retail/Office Suites and two lovely Cottages which were formerly the stables to the main house.

Clarence House is an imposing double-fronted Victorian property with six Retail/Office Suites set out over three floors. All but one of the Suites are accessed from the main Entrance Hall which has the original front door and tiled flooring. The property had a new roof four years ago which is still under guarantee.

On the Ground Floor is Suite 1 with two large rooms and private Cloaks/WC. To the first floor is Suite 2 with two rooms and inner Lobby, Suite 3 with two rooms and private Kitchen plus two communal WCs. To the third floor is Suites 4 and 5 both with two rooms and private WC - and all the rooms have reduced headroom under the eaves. Suite 6 has separate side and rear access and has two main rooms, store room and private WC. The Cellar is currently accessed down steps to the rear of the building. There is currently no onsite parking for Clarence House.

To the rear of the property, through a secure gate, are the two Cottages with courtyard parking for up to two vehicles per property and they both have courtyard gardens to the rear. Cottage 1 has two Bedrooms, Shower Room, Lounge with feature fireplace and glazed doors out to the Courtyard Garden, and a Kitchen with a further door to the Courtyard. Cottage 2 is slightly larger - it also has two Bedrooms, Bathroom, Kitchen, Lounge, Conservatory, Entrance Hall with Shower Room off and pretty Courtyard to the rear.

Clarence House and the two Cottages are being sold together as one unit and offered with No Upward Chain and Vacant Possession on Completion. The main house was originally an imposing Family Home and was then converted to flats prior to being turned into Commercial Office and Retail units - so there may be the opportunity to return this beautiful house to stylish accommodation in the heart of town. There may also be the potential for two Parking Spaces to the front of the main house depending on access.

To arrange a viewing please call our Market Drayton office on[use Contact Agent Button]. 

LOCATION Set in the heart of Market Drayton, a busy market town with a weekly Wednesday street market whose charter dates back to 1245.

    Broadband availability and predicted speed

    Broadband speed is measured in megabits per second, with the number returned showing how fast the connection is. Each reading is based on the highest predicted speed of any major broadband network for services that deliver the download speeds. The following are the different readings that we may display:

    Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
    Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s
    Ultra-fast: Over 300 Mbit/s

    The data is updated three times a year. The checker results are predictions and should not be regarded as guaranteed. For more information, see: https://checker.ofcom.org.uk/en-gb/about-checker#Answer_0_2

    Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength: obtained from Ofcom on March 31, 2023

    Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:

    Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
    Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
    Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
    Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
    Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
