This property presents a significant development opportunity situated in the bustling heart of Penrith. Formerly known as the BBC Club, the site boasts approved planning permission for an extra care residential scheme that encompasses 28 individual units across three levels. The design primarily includes one-bedroom units, complemented by a selection of two-bedroom apartments and shared communal spaces, catering to modern living needs.
Granted in 2014 and confirmed as extant following condition discharges in 2017, this planning permission remains valid and can be readily pursued. Notably, the current owners have taken proactive steps by installing drainage on site, further facilitating potential future development.
The location is highly advantageous; positioned just a short distance from the lively New Squares area, residents will enjoy easy access to a diverse range of local amenities. These include shops, restaurants, cafes, schools, healthcare facilities such as a doctor's surgery and hospital, as well as transport links including a train station. Furthermore, the property benefits from its proximity to major routes like the M6 and A66, with the stunning landscapes of the Lake District National Park only a brief drive away.
This property not only offers immediate potential but also invites investors and developers to capitalize on its strategic location and existing planning permissions to create a vibrant residential community tailored to meet contemporary needs.
