L C Strong Ltd, Chapel Street, Billericay, Essex, CM12 9LT

Available on the open market, this landmark Grade II Listed commercial office building enjoys an enviable position with views of the church, war memorial and High Street, a truly prominent and characterful setting in the heart of Billericay.

This section of Chapel Street adjoins the main High Street, placing this property amongst a variety of established neighbouring businesses, whilst the train station is an uber convenient 0.3 miles away,

With approximately 1,500 sq ft of floor space across three floors and parking to the rear for several vehicles, the opportunities here are considerable. Continued commercial use is an obvious option, but the combination of floor space, central location and amenity space presents genuine and exciting potential for residential conversion, subject to the necessary consents.

Dating back to circa 1450 and with selective areas of modernisation since, this building carries a quite extraordinary depth of history and character that is exceptionally rare and simply impossible to replicate. One of the oldest buildings in Billericay, it is a genuine piece of local heritage. That said, practical improvements have been made along the way — windows benefit from secondary double glazing and a gas boiler provides heating via radiators throughout.

All in all, a notable and historic building offering great potential in a fabulously central location, an opportunity that simply does not come along very often.
