Summary - SCOPE HOUSE, HOSPITAL ROAD GL56 0BQ
1 bed 1 bath Commercial Property
Central Cotswold building with conversion potential and good transport links.
Detached three-storey building with ground-floor retail and two office floors
This detached three-storey property in Moreton-in-Marsh occupies a prominent town-centre position with ground-floor retail and two upper floors of offices. The building benefits from Cotswold stone character, high ceilings and large arched windows that provide good natural light and attractive views from the top floors. Main services are connected and the property is offered freehold with vacant possession.
The site offers clear value drivers for investors or a developer: use class E floorspace, an historic retail frontage, and potential to convert upper floors — and possibly the whole building — to residential subject to planning permission. Removing the modern single-storey rear extension could create a small garden and parking or reinstate the former garage and courtyard, subject to consents and rights of way.
Buyers should note material constraints: there is currently no private garden (the rear extension covers the former garden), parking is on-street only unless the extension is removed, and there are vehicular and pedestrian rights of way across the neighboring drive. The building has secondary glazing, assumed cavity walls without insulation, and will likely need refurbishment or modernisation work to meet residential standards and energy expectations. Crime levels in the area are reported above average.
Transport links and local amenities strengthen the commercial or residential case. The property is within walking distance of shops, cafes and the mainline station with services to Oxford and London; broadband and mobile signal are good. Planning for change of use would need to be secured before residential occupation.
