12 bedroom block of apartments for sale

Property Description

This historic building within the heart of St. Austell was originally built as a Steam Brewery by Walter Hicks in the 19th Century and was the former home of St. Austell Brewery. There has recently been significant works completed on the building where the roof and windows were overhauled/replaced, substantially reducing conversion costs. The property has been granted planning permission to convert the top 3 floors in to luxury self contained apartments, whilst retaining the commercial units at ground floor pedestrian level.

Currently, the property is let to three commercial tenants generating £45,668.13 per annum with a further unit currently vacant. The vacant office is currently advertised for £10,800 PA and so the whole property could generate circa £56,000PA. Therefore, the opportunity is to retain the property as a commercial investment, or utilitse the planning permission and convert the building. The lower ground floor, occupied by Millerson Estate Agents, is not affected by the planning permission. and can continue to produce income once the apartments are completed.
