2 Mount Street, Stafford, Staffordshire ST16 2DE

A freehold semi detached Grade II Listed building having character features and scope for regeneration offered with vacant possession upon completion. The property benefits from planning consent for the creation of six C3 residential apartments 24/39820/FUL (Stafford Borough Council). There has been some discussion for a care use, and the vendors have been in contact with a care provider who have expressed interest.

The three-storey semi-detached building is set back from Mount Street and benefits from two entrances, an internal staircase and a dedicated staircase from the ground floor to the first floor reducing complexity and cost of conversion.

The ground floor comprises extensive open plan former clothing retail space with changing rooms, a rear kitchen with WC and large frontage. There is a central staircase leading to the first and second storeys along with a separate staircase accessed off the main retail area. The ground floor accommodation extends 32.52ft by 29.39ft to include partition off areas with changing facilities and 17.39ft x 11.43ft giving a ground floor NIA area of 1,154sq ft.

There is a basement accessed from behind the staircase on the ground floor and this appeared dry upon inspection. Prospective buyers are advised to make all necessary independent enquiries prior to placing their bid as this will be binding.

Externally, there is land to the side of the property which may be suitable for parking. The vendor has advised there is a right of way to access this.
