Full description
Unique and prestigious Grade 1, mixed use investment property in Wirral's Premier Commercial Area. Recently refurbished, Vacant possession, Ready for occupation or letting.
Unique opportunity to acquire a fabulous Grade 1 listed office building in the heart of Hamilton Square, Birkenhead.
This Georgian Square, which was designed by famous Edinburgh architect James Gillespie Graham, comprises the most Grade I listed buildings outside of London (after Trafalgar Square)
The 64 grand Georgian Town Houses forming the square were built between 1825 and 1847, and all overlook the picturesque formal gardens of Hamilton Square.
Hamilton Square is the main commercial district on the Wirral peninsula, and is a Conservation Area.
Both the Hamilton Square Merseyrail Station (only 3 minutes to Liverpool) and Conway Park Merseyrail are nearby, linking Birkenhead with Liverpool, with all Wirral areas, and with Chester.
Hamilton Square also benefits from excellent road links including the nearby Mersey Tunnel linking Wirral to Liverpool City centre and the national Motorway network including the M62 and M53.
The building has recently been subject to a full refurbishment and restoration programme, and is now ready for immediate occupation.
The building comprises four floors of office accommodation, together with a fabulous Penthouse Apartment on the top floor, with spectacular views.
The building benefits from full height ceilings with decorative coving, period features, fully restored sash windows, LED lighting, Category 5 cabling, GSM access control system, and a fully integrated and automated Fire Alarm System.
Modern staff amenity facilities are provided including two new kitchens and new male and female toilet areas.
The entire building is carpeted throughout, and the Penthouse is partially furnished.
Separate front and rear entrances are provides at both ground floor level, and to the self-contained Lower Ground Floor Suite
A secure private carpark is provided comprising six parking spaces, with remote controlled electric doors.
This is a unique opportunity to own a fully restored historic building in the heart of Hamilton Square, and viewing is highly recommended to appreciate the quality of this investment property.
Interesting Historical Note
In the Land Registry documentation, there there is a record of a 1862 Conveyance of the property from Sir Moses Montefiore and Lionel Nathan de Rothschild - two of the most famous and influential businessmen of their day. So presumably they either owned or had an interest in this property shortly after it was originally built.
Over the next few years, Birkenhead promises to be one of the most exciting areas for future development and regeneration in the whole of the UK.
Wirral Waters is described as the largest and most exciting regeneration project in the UK.
It promises to "transform over 500 acres of the Birkenhead docklands into an internationally recogniseable destination where innovation, sustainability and industry thrive and 25 miles of coastline stretches from your doorstep. Where over 20,000 permanent new jobs will emerge, where wide open spaces meet world-class culture, and global companies trade alongside new waterfront housing".
