Large period building with conversion or leisure potential in Cockermouth.
Former social club with premises licence and large flexible floorplates
Victorian stone façade, high ceilings — strong period character
Includes self-contained office (5a Main Street) with separate access
Rear car park for five vehicles and rear deliveries
Second-floor living accommodation unused; requires refurbishment
Located in Cockermouth Conservation Area — planning constraints likely
Long leasehold interest; unconditional offers invited over £150,000
Office EPC F-138; energy improvements likely required
A substantial three-storey former social club on Cockermouth’s Main Street, offered long leasehold with unconditional offers invited over £150,000. The building combines generous, flexible floorplates across ground, first and second floors, plus a self-contained office (5a Main Street). Its Victorian stone façade and high ceilings give strong period character and clear potential for conversion to mixed-use, residential units, or continued leisure use subject to consents.
The property benefits from a current premises licence, on‑street frontage in a busy commercial corridor, and a small rear car park for five vehicles — useful for delivery access or staff parking. Mains services are present and the club element has an EPC C-56; the office shows an EPC F-138 which will need addressing if continued commercial use is proposed.
Material considerations include its long leasehold title, location within the Cockermouth Conservation Area (planning constraints likely), and an interior that has been unused on upper floors for several years — the second floor living accommodation will require repair and updating. The building has multiple later extensions and evidence of previous alterations which may affect refurbishment costs.
This is a value-led opportunity for an investor or developer comfortable with character buildings and conservation area requirements. The property suits conversion to apartments, mixed commercial/residential use, or revival as a community/venue operation — subject to planning and listed-building-type consents if required.
