A substantial Grade II listed Georgian building in the heart of St Ives, offered freehold with a very large 6,935 sq ft footprint and an enclosed courtyard garden. The property currently combines office accommodation across two main parts with a self-contained residential unit, creating immediate rental or owner-occupation flexibility. Large sash windows, high ceilings and decorative cornices are intact and provide strong period character that will appeal to tenants or buyers seeking historic fabric.
The site presents clear conversion potential (subject to planning) for multiple residential units or a mixed residential/commercial scheme. Its town-centre location places shops, cafes, the River Great Ouse and the guided busway within easy reach, supporting lettability and longer-term value uplift. Broadband speeds are fast and the wider area is relatively affluent with strong local schools nearby.
Important constraints are upfront: the property is Grade II listed, which will limit permitted alterations and may extend timeframes and costs for conversion. Any residential conversion would require a planning application (STP) and specialist conservation input. The property sits on a small plot and the immediate area records high crime levels, which should be factored into security and management plans.
Overall, this is a character-rich, large freehold building suited to an investor or developer experienced with listed conversions or an occupier wanting prominent town-centre premises. The combination of generous internal volume, excellent central location and conversion upside offers a compelling long-term proposition provided the listing restrictions and local context are properly managed.
