Summary - Cowper House , 29-30 High Street, Huntingdon, Cambridgeshire, PE29 3TH PE29 3TH
1 bed 1 bath Office
Large Grade II* listed town-centre office with strong conversion potential (STP).
Prominent High Street frontage overlooking pedestrianised area
A rare, large-town centre opportunity in Huntingdon’s High Street, Cowper House combines striking Georgian character with substantial floor area and a prominent frontage. The building totals approximately 5,323 sq ft (NIA) across two principal units, set within about 0.44 acres and positioned close to national retailers and public car parks — an asset for commercial or mixed-use schemes (subject to planning).
The property’s Grade II* listed status and attractive period features (open timber beams, large sash windows, fireplaces) give it strong character and street presence but will materially restrict alterations and increase conservation-led costs. The building has been used as offices and offers a mix of reception, meeting rooms, open-plan areas and private offices across ground, first and second floors — providing flexible internal layouts for conversion or refurbishment.
Practical positives include excellent mobile and fast broadband connectivity and immediate town-centre footfall. Key transactional considerations: offers are invited at £550,000; tenure details are unknown; planning permission will be required for conversion or redevelopment and listed-building consents may be necessary. The site’s location near transport and amenities supports a range of end uses, but any buyer must allow for listed-building constraints and significant refurbishment costs.
This opportunity suits buyers who value historic fabric and a high-street presence and who can manage heritage consent, refurbishment budgets and planning risk. Clear due diligence on listing constraints, change-of-use feasibility and local crime-related operational considerations is essential before purchase.
