Description

An opportunity to purchase the former brewery site including the old Straven Knitwear shop extending in total to 1.40 acres (or thereabouts) situated within close proximity to the centre of the market town of Alford.

The land is particularly well located within the town and lends itself for residential or commercial development subject to obtaining the appropriate planning permission.

The vendors are open to negotiations surrounding the structure of any potential purchase and we therefore invite expressions of interest on behalf of our clients.

Location And Access - The property and land is situated off West Street in the market town of Alford. There are two existing accesses, one adjacent to the building being the former Straven Knitwear shop and one by the Half Moon public house.

Tenure & Possession - The Freehold interest in the site is being offered for sale with full vacant possession upon completion.

Easements, Wayleaves & Rights Of Way - We understand that there is a permissive Right of Way through the land. All of the land is sold subject to and with the help and benefit of all existing rights, including rights of way whether public or private, light, support, drainage, water and electricity supplies and other rights, easements, and all wayleaves whether referred to or not in these particulars.

Services - We understand that mains water and electricity are connected to the site and to the building. Prospective purchasers should make their own enquiries in respect of the availability and connection of all services to the site.

Potential Uses - The vendors have taken professional advice as to the potential development of the site for residential dwellings and has had a residential development scheme designed for the site which includes 17 dwellings. No formal application to East Lindsey District Council has been made at this time.

We also believe that the site may lend itself for commercial units subject to obtaining the appropriate planning permission.

All prospective purchasers should make their own enquiries as to any development potential on the site.

•Phase 2 (Ground Investigation) Report undertaken by Humberside Materials Laboratory Ltd with regards to potential contamination on site.

Structuring Of Potential Purchase - The vendor appreciates the complexities related to the potential development of this site and therefore are receptive to opening discussions as to the most beneficial way for a deal to be structured. This can include but is not limited to an outright sale in one transaction, a joint venture, or staged payments. It is expected that contracts shall be exchanged and completed within a reasonable timescale, which is to be agreed between both parties.

Existing Building - The property includes the building which was formerly used as the Straven Knitwear shop. The building is in need of renovation and therefore we are unable to allow internal viewings.
