Re-development potential in heart of town
October 2024
An interesting redundant county council building in the middle of Wellington is being marketed by property specialists Greenslade Taylor Hunt.
The premises at 55 North Street, Wellington, were recently used to house the town’s library on a temporary basis, while the main library in Fore Street underwent a major re-fit.
Now the prominent property at North Street, which sits opposite the town’s fire station, will be sold at auction on Wednesday, December 11. It is guided at £250,000.
Planning experts at Greenslade Taylor Hunt believe there is scope to re-develop the site, subject to the necessary consents.
A spokesman for the firm said: “There has been no official planning submissions so far. The original stone building is Grade II listed. It has potential to be converted into a large three or four-bedroom detached house.”
The rear portion of the site comprises an open parking forecourt with a single storey flat roof building, which could easily be demolished to open up the site and create space for new homes.
There are a couple of legal constraints to the site. A public footpath connects North Street with Lodge Close and runs through the site, but this could easily be preserved.
There is also a vehicle right of way from the rear entrance at Lodge Close, which runs through the site, and serves two adjoining properties. This would require further investigation.
