Duke Street, Cumbria, CA28

A substantial town-centre building of approximately 2,026 sq ft, arranged over several levels and partially converted to form five proposed self-contained apartments. The project is unfinished and requires further work, including kitchens, flooring, decoration and other completion items, so it is suited to a purchaser with development experience rather than someone seeking an immediately lettable property. A large cellar and separate store provide additional ancillary space. The accommodation retains features including exposed stonework, traditional proportions and roof timbers in the upper-level space, which also has roof windows and an open-plan living and kitchen arrangement. Outside, a sizeable area sits alongside and behind the building. The property is in central Whitehaven, opposite the Castle Park area and within walking distance of shops, amenities and the historic harbour. The proposed five-unit arrangement and its current planning, building regulation, licensing and other consent position should be checked independently. The agent has not verified that all approvals required for completion and use as five separate homes are in place.
