GENERAL DESCRIPTION
A large and prominently located three storey property of brick elevations with a pitched tiled roof which was comprehensively refurbished in 2012 as part of the Burslem Improvemnet Grant Scheme. The charachterful property has previously been used for both retail and office use, although lends itself to be converted into a HMO or similar with the potential for 5 rooms or 6 if the shop is also converted. Internally the property has gas central heating and single glazed timber windows. All rooms are carpeted and very little work is required internally. According to the council some sound installation, a fire alarm system and an additional landing on the top floor would be required for planning to be considered for a HMO. Please note, the ground floor salon is occupied until mid June when the lease will come to an end.
