Durden & Hunt welcome to the market this rare freehold opportunity in the heart of Chigwell.
This characterful Grade II listed building offers a unique chance to invest into a building that is closely linked to Chigwell’s distinguished history.
The total building boasts over 4000 SQFT of internal space, as well as additional outside space. Outside space includes a large driveway to the side and two small ground floor courtyard like areas.
The ground floor of the property was formally run as the popular local restaurant; ‘The Bluebell’. There is an additional level above the back section of the building on the first floor, that is also currently empty.
What was once the restaurant, has been recently stripped out, and it now offers the opportunity for a new owner to make significant changes to suit their requirements, subject to planning.
While it would lend itself well presumably to someone wishing to reopen a restaurant on the ground floor, or to lease out to someone to do so, there may be development potential here and with the rest of the building, subject to obtaining the necessary planning permissions.
The upper floors at the front of the building contain two X two-bedroom apartments, that have recently been refurbished and require some minor finishes like carpet.
The property is located just a short walk to two of Chigwell’s famous amenities, namely, Chigwell Private School & Ye Olde Kings Head (now the popular Sheesh restaurant). Also nearby is Chigwell Central Line Station.
