House for sale

DEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITY!
Woking Town Centre Development and Refurbishment Opportunity.

A pair of interlinked turn of the century houses, previously in commercial/institutional use and now requiring full modernisation and refurbishment with on-site parking for up to 4 cars and conveniently located to the transport links and the extensive amenities of Woking Town Centre.

Considered suitable, either as a refurbishment or a complete redevelopment, for a variety of uses (subject to obtaining the necessary consents) including Doctors/Dentist Surgery (Class E), restoration to a previous residential use (including an HMO) and with possibly a retained commercial use and retail (previous use) on the ground floor.

Arranged across the ground, first and second floors (within the roof space) and dating from the late 19th Century the property comprises two elements, the former shop premises (with a return frontage onto Courtenay Road and North Road) with associated residential upper parts together with a further residential terraced house fronting onto North Road. It is noted that at least one of the properties had been previously converted into a flat (at first and second floor level) although in its most recent history they were combined and interlinked as one. Currently the accommodation is arranged with an open-plan ground floor and a series of individual offices or consulting rooms across the upper floors. There are two kitchens and WC/bathroom facilities.

The property requires modernisation and refurbishment and in total extends to approximately 305.3 sq m (3285 sq ft). There is separate off-street parking (2 or 4 if vehicles are parked in tandem).

There is mains water, electricity and drainage supplied to the property.

Planning

Purchasers should enquire of Woking Borough. The most recent planning consent was granted in 2005 for the temporary change of use of the first and second floors from residential to DI in conjunction with its use within the Mental Health sector. It is not known on what planning basis this use continued thereafter but it is understood that the premises had been used by an NHS Trust and thereafter a Medical Charity until 2023 for both BI use and as a publicly accessible drop in and advice centre. The original use of the properties would have been as retail and residential.
