This freehold former bank occupies a prominent corner plot in Chalk Hill, Watford, less than 200m from Bushey Overground station and within easy reach of Watford town centre. The building offers a substantial ground-floor hall with ancillary offices, storage and WCs — suitable for continued commercial use or a range of alternative uses subject to planning consent. Fast rail links to London and a busy local retail environment give strong footfall and tenant appeal for trading uses.
Internally the property retains period character externally with Edwardian red-brick arched windows and an attractive herringbone wood floor internally, but much of the fit-out dates from the mid‑century and requires modernization. Services are believed to be available and the site is offered with full vacant possession; the property is unelected for VAT. Ceiling heights are average and the layout is compact, reflecting a small-to-average town-centre footprint with no private garden.
For investors or developers the site presents clear upside: visible corner frontage, proximity to transport, and local redevelopment momentum from nearby strategic development plans. Any change to residential or alternative use will require consent, and prospective buyers should allow for refurbishment works and planning risk. The property is best suited to buyers comfortable managing consent processes or refurbishments in a busy town-centre context.
