Property Description

A freehold former restaurant and Briggs Memorial Hall located along Whitwood Lane in Castleford offered with vacant possession upon completion. The building is well known and respected within the local area owing to its character, history and unique design. The building has been most recently used as a very popular restaurant and we feel that it would lend itself well to a variety of alternate uses such as an architects studio, a community centre, nursery or a bespoke residential dwelling. This is subject to planning approval. The building comprises - Central entrance to the front with period windows leading to the main hall extending to approximately 1,410 sq.ft and benefits from high ceilings with ornate detailing. To the rear of the property are male and female WCs along with a commercial kitchen with extraction extending to approximately 127 sq.ft. Externally there is parking to the front of the property. Interested parties are advised to inspect the legal pack form more information.
