Market House is a striking Grade II listed former school in the centre of Martock, offering two spacious halls, high ceilings and abundant period character. The building currently functions as a youth club and includes a compact kitchen, WC block, office, storeroom and a first-floor loft/Cadets room with exposed roof trusses. Its prominent Church Street frontage and generous internal volume create strong potential for continued community use or a distinctive residential conversion (subject to planning permission).
Practical strengths include substantial internal floor area, off-street parking to the front and a small walled garden to the rear. The building is largely operational but, as a listed structure, will require sensitive works and listed-building consent for major alterations. Expect costs and constraints associated with modern services upgrades, potential accessibility work and sympathetic restoration of historic fabric.
This property will suit a buyer seeking a character-led investment or conversion project: an investor or developer targeting a unique residential conversion, or a community organisation wishing to retain leisure use. Location is central and well-served by local amenities and good road links; flooding and crime risk are very low. The notable drawbacks are the listed status (which complicates conversion), limited external amenity space and likely refurbishment expense to meet modern standards.
