Occupying a prime position in the vibrant market town of King’s Lynn, 78 Chapel Street is a freehold Grade II Listed property with a wealth of potential.
Spanning three floors, the property has most recently been utilised as offices, but the versatile internal space would lend itself to a variety of uses, pending the necessary consent.
In its current configuration, the well-proportioned ground floor boasts two offices, a kitchen, dining area and toilets, with stairs leading to the upper floors.
Moving through the property, the first floor features a versatile open-plan office space with various storage cupboards, while the second floor provides access to an additional unused area which would require modernisation to reinstate its full potential.
Built in the late 18th century, the brown-brick terraced building was extended to the rear in the 19th century and again to the south side in 2010. Despite being updated over the years, the property has retained its original character, including charming features such as the timber-panelled doors with four-vane fanlights and cast-iron boot scraper.
From street level, the property boasts a prominent façade with eight timber-framed sash windows punctuating the exterior. 78 Chapel Street also benefits from a courtyard garden to the rear which features a large purpose-built shed and provides additional storage space.
Located in one of the most historic quarters of King’s Lynn, the property is situated at the junction of Chapel Street, St Ann’s Street and St Nicholas Street, within easy reach of nearby car parks and amenities.
It was previously home to the Labour Party headquarters from the 1970’s to 1990’s, however, its desirable location and versatile internal layout make it suited to residential conversion, subject to the necessary consent.
Well connected by road and rail, the A17 provides convenient routes to Cambridge, Ely, Peterborough, and the Midlands, whilst Norwich and the surrounding villages can be accessed via the A47.
The town of King’s Lynn also benefits from a mainline railway station, with regular services running to London Kings Cross.
Other local Norfolk attractions include the royal residence of Sandringham, the historic Castle Rising, and the North Norfolk beaches of Heacham, Hunstanton and Snettisham, which are all easily accessible by car.
Being offered with a guide price of £250,000 (plus fees), 78 Chapel Street presents an enticing opportunity, whether that be as a long-term investment or a new venture that explores other potential uses for this prominent property.
