Large riverside property with commercial kitchen and strong redevelopment potential.
Grade II listed riverside property with iconic weir views
Holme Head House is a substantial Grade II–listed riverside building offering over 5,500 sq ft of space and extensive grounds. The site includes a formal rose garden, wooded plots, off-street parking and a sizable uncultivated stretch of riverbank beside the iconic Caldew weir. A fully equipped commercial kitchen (5-star FSA) and large open-plan floors currently support leisure or hospitality uses.
The property suits buyers seeking a commercial leisure opportunity or a redevelopment project: the building has been restored since 2012 and could be converted to a signature four–five bedroom home or subdivided into luxury flats, subject to planning permission. The cellar, ground and first floors provide generous room sizes and high ceilings, preserving many period features such as original covings.
Important practical points: the house is Grade II listed, so alterations will be constrained and require consents. The sale is VAT opted and VAT is payable on top of the price; anti-money laundering checks are required prior to progress. The area records above-average crime, which should be considered alongside the property's many assets.
This is a large, versatile site with clear income and lifestyle potential for the right buyer — whether to run as a hospitality business immediately, or to pursue residential conversion with careful planning and listed‑building consent.
