Character property for sale

Bucks House is a truly unique opportunity to acquire a partially converted church with full planning consent into ten luxury central Douglas apartments over four floors with a gross development value in excess of £3m.

Offered for sale at a firm £1m, plus the retention of one completed apartment, this would suit a developer seeking to continue the extensive high specification works carried out to date to create a landmark and ‘one-of-a-kind' building situated close to the Douglas business district, town centre and all of its amenities.

Building features include stunning internal architectural archways, striking stained glass windows including a unique feature window, a bell tower, lift shaft and much more. The current owner has commenced a redevelopment program committing significant spend to high quality materials and craftsmanship. Development work to date includes a newly-insulated roof, external stonework, joists, and window lintels, ensuring the building is both secure and fully watertight.

Building materials already acquired will be included in the sale, and there is the option to hire the current owner’s equipment as required. The garage on the lower ground floor houses nine covered parking spaces with the option to create additional external spaces within the property boundary.

Bucks House is a conservation property. Architects’ drawings, costings to date and additional information about the property are available to interested parties by contacting Partners Real Estate.

Bucks House has undergone an extensive conversion program to date, including a new and insulated roof complete with Welsh blue slates, custom-made aluminium guttering, hand-crafted internal stair cases, new window lintels, insulated and noise-cancelling flooring, extensive improvements to the external stone work, as well as many other improvements.
