Laurel House is a substantial Grade II listed Georgian townhouse occupying a prominent Main Street position in Brampton. The property offers generous room sizes, high ceilings and retained period detail such as ornate cornicing and original cupboards, providing strong character and clear appeal for buyers seeking a memorable period home or an income opportunity.
Currently used as commercial premises (hairdresser/barber/beauty rooms), the layout provides immediate flexibility. Ground-floor rooms and a rear kitchen give a clear commercial footprint, while the majority of internal walls are stud — offering scope to reconfigure the first floor into comfortable residential accommodation. There is also a secondary rear stair and potential for self-contained access to the upper floor, useful for conversion into separate living or rental units.
Practical positives include off-street parking to the rear, a stepped and ramped front courtyard garden, a large overall footprint (2,041 sq ft) and fast broadband with excellent mobile signal. The location sits close to local amenities, transport links (A69 and M6 access) and outdoor attractions like Hadrian’s Wall and the Lake District.
Important drawbacks are material: the Grade II listing will restrict alterations and will require listed-building consent for many changes. The property is currently laid out for commercial use so conversion to full residential use will need investment and planning. There is only one bathroom currently, and the area records above-average crime levels which some buyers will consider. These factors make the house particularly suited to buyers prepared to manage a listed conversion or investors looking for a renovation project rather than those seeking a move-in-ready family home.
