*** THIS PROPERTY IS NOW UNDER OFFER ***

A prominently located property in Dorking Town Centre with very significant potential for Development, Refurbishment or a continuation of its existing or similar use.

A Grade II Listed former office building (with later extension) and extensive surface car parking in a prime town centre location. The site offers a GIA of 7601 Sq Ft and total plot size of approx. 0.45 Acres.

Considered suitable (STPP) either as a refurbishment and/or additional development for its existing use (as Offices B1/Class E) or for other alternative uses including residential within Class C3 (including Sheltered or Retirement), Care Home use (Class C2), Medical, Dental or Clinical Use (Class E) or Restaurant (Class E). The property also lends itself to a mixed-planning use either in terms of the buildings themselves and/or a new build element on what is currently the rear car park.

Description

The property comprises three main elements - the original period property; a more recent 2 storey extension (1980s); and an extensive car parking area to the rear with 36 spaces. The original house, arranged across the ground and first floors, is an attractive brick and timber frame dwelling with rendered elevation beneath a pitched tiled roof. Whilst internally displaying somewhat institutional and functional characteristics, some of its more attractive period features remain. The two-storey extension which is interlinked (and can be separately accessed) offers more modern accommodation.

The enclosed car park to the rear provides up to 36 spaces in addition to 2 disabled /priority spaces to the front of the building.

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

Planning

Purchasers should enquire of Mole Valley District Council. The property was designated a Grade II listing in 1973 before the construction of the modern, rear extension in the 1980s. It is unclear as to whether this more recent extension would be deemed worthy of retention in accordance with the overall listing. The property sits within the Dorking Conservation Area. There are no TPOs on site. Its most recent use was within the Mental Health sector and as a publicly accessible drop in and advice centre.

Tenure

The property is currently held freehold subject to a long leasehold which will be merged to provide the incoming purchaser with the benefit of freehold title with full vacant possession on completion.

EPC - Please enquire of the agent.
