A former furniture store in St Neots has been placed on the market, listed for £750,000.
The property on 58-62 High Street used to house family furniture retailer Brittains, which had been trading for 120 years, but closed back in June last year due to rising costs and reduced demand.
Since its closure, the building has been left empty. Earlier this year, a planning application was submitted to Huntingdonshire District Council seeking to convert the upstairs of the shop into 15 properties. These plans have since been approved this month.
With the plans in place and the potential of the ground floor retail space, the property has been listed on Rightmove at price of £750,000.
The descrition states: “The property consists of a three storey former retail premises. Planning Permission was granted in October 2024 (unconditional) (Ref: 24/01727/P3JPA) for the development of 15 apartments on the First and Second Floors ranging in size from 398sq ft to 753sq ft approximately.
“The ground floor of the building has been split into six retail units with premium shop fronts and a large rear commercial unit which have been sold on a long leasehold basis (999 years).”
