Description

The property is an attractive mixed use period building comprising ground floor retail accommodation with ancillary accommodation in the basement and a self contained maisonette on the upper floors, but excluding the roof space. The maisonette has been let on a long leasehold interest.

Other properties on the same side of the road have benefitted from a mansard roof extension, and subject to planning consents, there is therefore no obvious reason why this property should not succeed in a planning application for a mansard roof extension, should the owner of upper maisonette wish to acquire the roof rights out of the current freehold.

VAT

VAT is not applicable to this lot.

Planning

The property does not appear as Listed on the Historic England website, but is within the Pembridge Conservation Area. Numbers 32,34,36,44 and 46 on the same side of the road have all benefitted from a mansard roof extension, and subject to planning consents, this property may also benefit from a mansard roof extension, should the owner of upper maisonette wish to acquire the roof rights out of the current freehold.

Completion Period
