Ashbourne House, 334 Wellington Rd North, Stockport, SK4 5DA

Ashbourne House is an imposing detached Victorian office building set on generous grounds and providing 10 private car parking spaces. The property has been an active business centre since 2002 and continues to provide serviced office accommodation for predominantly local businesses on short term licence arrangements. At full capacity the office premises produces generates a gross income of circa £95,000pa.

Aside from the existing office use, the site offers significant scope for residential conversion of the existing building and potential for further development above the single storey outrigger to the rear.

Currently, the property is divided internally into 10 office suites over three floors, with 3 communal meeting rooms and a full height cellar spanning the length of the building providing additional storage space. The current footprint provides 4,932 Sq. Ft. of space, but it is believed a further 1,000 Sq. Ft. of development space could be created above the single storey rear outrigger, subject to planning approval.

Planning permission (DC017755) for conversion of the existing footprint of the property to form 5 generously apportioned flats, consisting of 4 x 2-bedroom flats and 1 x 1 bedroom flat, was renewed in 2010 but has since lapsed. The vendor has made recent enquiries with the planning officer, and it is believed that renewal of the permission should not be problematic.

Ashbourne House occupies a prominent position on the corner of Wellington Road North and Brook Road in the established and popular residential area of Heaton Chapel. The property fronts onto Wellington Road North (A6), the main arterial route between Stockport Town Centre which is just over one mile to the South and Manchester City Centre which is located 5 miles to the North.

The immediate area boasts excellent transport links, being less than a 5-minute walk from Heaton Chapel Railway Station and within 2 miles of Junction 1 (Stockport) of the M60 Motorway. Chorlton, Didsbury, Withington and West Didsbury are all within easy reach of the property, as is Manchester Airport which is around a 20-minute drive. Additionally, regular bus services run along the A6 linking South Manchester and Stockport to the City Centre.

The area is predominantly a residential area and benefits from all the usual local shops, bars and restaurants that the surrounding Heaton’s (Chapel, Moor & Mersey) have to offer.

Offers in excess of £850,000 are invited for the Freehold site.

Mains gas, electricity, water and drainage are made up and connected to this premises.
