This attractive Grade II former Georgian townhouse has been sensitively refurbished into a 1,994 sq ft self-contained office, marrying period character with contemporary workspace. The building benefits from high ceilings, exposed beams, sash windows and a pitched-roof first-floor extension with a large glazed gable and skylights, giving light-filled, flexible floorplates suitable for professional occupiers or owners letting to high-end firms.
Positioned on Manchester Road, the property is a short walk from Wilmslow station and the town centre, offering excellent public transport links and local amenities. The freehold nature and VAT-exempt sale improve value clarity; the property already functions as an attractive turnkey office with modern kitchen, WCs, comms room and solid specification throughout.
Notable constraints are material to any purchase decision: the building is Grade II listed, which will restrict external and some internal alterations and may complicate future change of use. The plot is narrow with limited forecourt and no substantial rear garden, and on-street parking or nearby public car parks will be relied upon. Recorded local crime levels are higher than average, which may affect security requirements and tenant perceptions.
Overall, the property offers a distinct blend of period character and contemporary workspace in a prime Wilmslow location. It is best suited to investors or owner-occupiers who value location and character, and who accept listed-building responsibilities and town-centre plot limitations.
