This significant Grade II* listed public house, previously known as The Rose and Crown, is now closed and presents a unique opportunity for ambitious investors or developers. Located prominently in the historic Market Place of Chippenham, this property combines commercial potential with the possibility of residential redevelopment (subject to consents). The building itself boasts a rich history, with parts dating back to the 14th century and Georgian modifications adding character.
The layout comprises a ground floor divided into two bars, a restaurant area with an extensive dining space, and a commercial kitchen. The upper floors feature residential accommodation that includes five bedrooms and additional living spaces, along with access to an attic level that could further expand living options. Additionally, there is a mezzanine space above the restaurant previously used as an office/studio.
Though the property requires complete refurbishment, it holds vast potential for creating either a vibrant community hub or upscale residential units within Chippenham’s bustling town centre. Given its location and stature within the community, transforming this space could yield significant returns for an enterprising buyer.
The external areas include potential al fresco dining spots or parking facilities, enhancing its attractiveness as a multifunctional venue.
