Land For Sale £2,000,000
*Best offers by 5pm on Wednesday 1st March* Prime, residential development opportunity in around 1.47 acre situated in an extremely sought after location.
Description
The property comprises a period, two storey property, set within mature gardens. The property is currently used as the Headquarters for The Vegetarian Society who are in the process of relocating. The property is therefore laid out as offices, training kitchen and associated store spaces. The
property is assessed to extend to approximately 10,345 sq ft (961.1 sq m) over basement, ground and one upper floor. The property is set within grounds of approximately 1.41 acres (0.57 hectares).
Whilst the property has been utilised for office space, many of the period features remain in the building including original fireplaces, architraves and window details. The property was also extended several years ago to accommodate the training kitchen and additional office space at first floor level.
It is envisaged that the property could be re-developed for a range of uses with the possibility to consider a single or multi-unit conversion of the building, or a more holistic redevelopment, subject to the necessary consents.
The property is not listed, however it is located in the Devisdale Conservation Area.
Planning position
Under the jurisdiction of Trafford Borough Council, the site
could be considered for a range of development options,
subject to gaining the necessary planning consents.
Trafford is currently operating under the Trafford
Core Strategy and revised Trafford udp. Whilst these
frameworks remain enforceable, Trafford is also part of the
“Places for Everyone” plan for Greater Manchester which
is due for potential adoption through 2023.
Despite the imminent changes, the pertinent policies
indicate that the property could:
- Be retained as commercial use under class “E;”
- Be converted/ subdivided for open market/
affordable housing;
- Be converted for a Care Home/ Retirement Living
scheme.
A demolition of the property is likely to need significant
justification, however all offers will be judged on their
merits.
Location
The property, known as Parkdale, is located on Dunham Road in Altrincham, on the edge of Bowdon. Altrincham is a well regarded suburb of Manchester within the Trafford Borough. It benefits from excellent transport links via the M56 and A556 to the south and the M60 through Sale to the north. Altrincham
Transport Interchange also allows access to the Metrolink tram service that routes directly into Manchester city centre and onward to Bury and Rochdale.
Altrincham is also very well located for access to Manchester Airport via Hale Road. Altrincham as a town hosts all of the amenities that you would expect of a commuter town including the main supermarket operators, several clothing retailers and a range of independent food and drink establishments.
Altrincham also benefits from its Market Hall which has been a key factor in Altrincham’s resurgence and allows artisan food and beverage retailers to flourish. The property itself is located to the north of Denzell Gardens and The Devisdale with its frontage to Dunham Road. The site boundary to the south
west forms the general boundary between Bowdon and Altrincham.
Square Footage: 10,345 sq ft
