    NEW PRICE - AN EXCITING DEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITY - Davis and Lund are pleased to offer an imposing 17th century, grade II listed semi-detached house which has been sectioned off into apartments/bedsits (done in the 1970’s). The property is ripe for refurbishment. The substantial property is currently laid out as four bedsits/apartments used for extended family; these apartments/bedsits cover the ground and first floors of the building. The second floor accommodation also offers the scope for conversion.

    Due to the spacious layout, no principal rooms have been divided since the original division in the 1970’s. Planning permission was granted in 2004 for six apartments and as work has started the planning permission will last indefinitely. Whilst planning permission may need to be re-submitted with amended plans, this makes an exciting and increasingly rare opportunity. Disabled Facilities Grants may also be potentially available and any interested parties should speak to Harrogate Borough Council to discuss this further.
