Property
The property is set within the grounds of the Roman Catholic Church of St Mary & St Michael. In addition to access through the church, it has its own pedestrian and vehicular access from Lukin Street.
The detached, ground-floor building extends to approximately 3,000 sq ft and was originally built as a community hall for the Parish. It has since been used by both the Parish and the adjoining school and has been maintained in good condition. The accommodation comprises a large main hall, kitchen, ancillary rooms, storage and ample toilet facilities, offering a practical layout for a range of uses. Its configuration and outside space make it particularly well suited to day nursery use, subject to planning.
The site benefits from on-site parking and ample outdoor space, which could be used as a playground if required. The hall is separate from the main church and presbytery, allowing it to be operated independently and supporting the separation of activities for safeguarding purposes.
The Parish currently uses the accommodation at weekends for light refreshments, access to toilet facilities and social gatherings. It would be open to retaining this weekend use alongside a Monday-to-Friday nursery, with suitable storage provided to allow the nursery to operate on a pack-away basis. Alternatively, the Parish would consider a full seven-day occupation by a nursery, subject to discussion and agreement on temporary weekend access to the toilet facilities.
Further details are available upon application and can also be discussed during a viewing.
We are advised the property likely has an existing F2 use as a community hall, however offers subject to a change of use to class E for day nursery use will be favourably considered. Applicants are recommended to seek their own planning advise.
