About this home

An exciting opportunity to acquire a substantial former Post Office premises together with two adjoining residential elements, all forming part of the same detached building and offering considerable scope for renovation and redevelopment.

Step inside

An exciting opportunity to acquire a substantial former Post Office premises together with two adjoining residential elements, all forming part of the same detached building and offering considerable scope for renovation and redevelopment. The accommodation is currently arranged to include the former commercial Post Office area alongside a one bedroom ground floor flat and a two bedroom first floor flat. The entire property now requires a comprehensive programme of modernisation and refurbishment, but its generous proportions and existing layout provide an excellent starting point for a buyer looking to create something special. Subject to any necessary planning permissions and building regulations, the property could lend itself particularly well to the creation of two spacious, modernised self-contained flats, while another exciting possibility would be conversion into one substantial detached family home. With large rooms, high ceilings in parts and plenty of natural light, this is a genuine project property offering considerable potential for those with the vision to transform the existing accommodation.

Outside

The property occupies a prominent position on Rowland Road and benefits from outside space extending around the building. To the rear is an established garden which, like the property itself, would benefit from clearance and improvement but provides a valuable amount of private outdoor space. Mature trees and planting provide an established backdrop, and the size and configuration of the plot further enhance the possibilities available to a prospective purchaser. The exterior and gardens require investment, but together offer an excellent opportunity to redesign the property and its surroundings as part of a wider renovation scheme.

Location

Situated on Rowland Road in the Frodingham area of Scunthorpe, the property is conveniently placed for access to a wide range of local amenities and the wider town. The location makes the property particularly interesting for developers, investors or buyers searching for a substantial renovation project. Whether retained as separate accommodation and comprehensively modernised or, subject to the necessary consents, transformed into one impressive detached home, the former New Frodingham Post Office at 114, 114a and 114b Rowland Road represents a rare opportunity to breathe new life into a sizeable and characterful building.
