This provides a full selection of national and independent retailers, cafes and restaurants. The town is home to the Buckinghamshire New University campus which gained university status in 2007 and has a student population of over 9,000.

THE PROPERTY
The property is a two storey semi-detached house, constructed late 1800’s. Modifications were made in the 1980’s with a single storey extension to the rear of the property. The property has been unoccupied for a number of years and is in need of renovation. A structural appraisal of the property is available in the information pack. The property accommodates five bedrooms but no bathroom on the first floor with three receptions rooms and a kitchen on the ground floor, together with a further five store/reception rooms in the extended basement level floor. Sat on a corner plot, the property benefits from extensive road frontage with a walled garden and car parking to the rear.
PLANNING
The property was originally constructed for residential purposes although for many years it has been used as the Priory Clinic, benefitting from D1 non-residential institution use class (clinics, health centres, day nurseries and places of worship). Subject to planning this history will provide sufficient flexibility for a wide range of uses within the residential or day care/surgery sectors.
