FORMER police station offers investors the chance to unlock the potential of the historic Powys landmark building.
The eye-catching building in the celebrated mid Wales spa town of Llandrindod Wells is to be sold by online auction.
Sean Roper says the stunning lot, which is listed for sale with Paul Fosh Auctions with a guide price of £298,000, is as unusual a property as he has seen for many a day.
Sean said: “No. 1 The Old Police Station, at Waterloo Road, in Llandrindod Wells, is a rare and characterful landmark former civic building offering an exciting opportunity to create a truly individual four-bedroom home.
“Rich in presence, with stunning architectural and period features throughout, this distinctive property could be ideal for purchasers seeking to get their teeth into what is a substantial renovation or conversion project.
“Having said that much of the hard work has already been done by the current owners, who due to a change of circumstances are offering this unique property for sale by auction.
“Set within easy walking distance of all local amenities in an established setting, the property combines a striking external appearance, with very adaptable internal space.
“For instance,” Sean says, “there is scope to create a flat at the one end while doing an ambitious redesign on the former main part of the building where the existing owners have added a mezzanine floor above the former Court Room with a walkway from the bathroom area to the main bedroom area.
“Outside the front and one side is a small grass area and to the rear is a large yard, which provides rear access and car parking for a number of vehicles.
“Whether approached as a bold contemporary transformation or a sensitive restoration retaining original features, the building offers the kind of scale, identity and creative potential seldom found on the open market.
“This is very much a Grand Designs-style project: an opportunity for architects, developers, self-build enthusiasts, or private buyers with vision to unlock the full potential of a landmark building.
“Buyers should rely on their own inspection and due diligence in relation to the current layout, condition, measurements and future usability of the property.”
The next Paul Fosh Auctions sale, when this property and some 120 other varied lots will be on offer for sale online, starts at 12 noon on Tuesday, July 28 and ends from 2pm on Thursday, July 30.
