Former church hall premises with excellent main road frontage to Shipley / Airedale Rd.

SITUATION

The premises occupy a highly busy and prominent location fronting Shipley Airedale Road (A650), at its junction with Church Bank/Barkerend Road (A658), therefore enjoying significant volumes of passing traffic. 

The premises are within walking distance of Bradford City Centre (and the popular Broadway Shopping Centre) and the acclaimed Little Germany Conservation Area.

 A wide variety of amenities are available in the immediate vicinity.

PROPERTY/ACCOMMODATION

The premises, formerly a picture house and church hall associated with the St Mary’s Church complex next door comprises a part 2/3 storey stone built building under a pitched slated roof incorporating an attractive feature tiled front entrance. 

As the main church building is Grade II Listed, we believe the same heritage conditions will apply to this property “by association”.

Internally, the ground floor provides an open plan former church hall (with solid floor) with partitioned former catering kitchen, WCs, stores and direct rear access to the large car park (spaces to be allocated). 

Useful stores exist at basement and there is potential to create a sizeable first floor trading area.

The premises provide the following approximate gross internal floor areas:

Sizeable secure rear carpark also offering loading potential.
