Spring Gardens, Buxton

This exceptional property presents a unique opportunity to acquire a historic former Coaching Inn, a Grade II Listed building dating back to circa 1650. Located in the heart of Buxton, this landmark offers substantial potential for developers and investors alike. The property comes with planning consent for the creation of 13 residential units, which include a mix of apartments and townhouses. The current vendors may consider dividing the property according to specific requirements, further enhancing its appeal. The White Lion Hotel spans multiple floors and boasts a generous footprint of approximately 9,436 sq. ft., which could be increased to around 10,500 sq. ft. with the addition of a second floor to the former stables. The ground floor features former bar and dining areas now utilized for retail, with potential for hospitality or restaurant use. The upper floors retain great character and could serve as apartments or guest rooms. Significant capital works have already been completed, including full roof replacements, structural enhancements, and refurbishment of original sash windows. The property also includes Weavers Cottage, a self-contained one-bedroom unit currently occupied by the vendors. With various potential uses subject to planning, including retail and holiday lets, this development opportunity allows for reduced risk while retaining significant upside potential. Buxton itself is a thriving spa town known for its Georgian and Victorian architecture, natural thermal springs, and proximity to the Peak District National Park, making it an attractive location for both residential and commercial investment.
