L O C A T I O NThe building occupies a prominent corner plot off Outwood Lane and Low Lane, to the south of Horsforth, which is a highly sought after North Leeds suburb. Horsforth benefits from unrivalled connectivity by rail, air and road. Indeed, Bridge House has proximity to two well-served railway stations, with Kirkstall Forge Railway Station less than 1 mile south, providing a regular service to Leeds city centre, as well as Horsforth Railway Station 1 mile to the north, which provides a regular service to Harrogate and York. Leeds Bradford International Airport is only 3 miles north of the site, enabling flights across the UK & Ireland, Europe and beyond. Furthermore, the site is also well placed to link in with the Leeds road network, via the nearby Leeds Ring Road (A6120).

Horsforth provides the full range of services and amenities expected of a premium city suburb, including a choice of supermarkets, bars, restaurants and schools. The area surrounding the property is predominately residential, with a mixture of houses, apartments, retail and office space that chart Horsforth’s evolution from agricultural origins and industrial revolution to affluent city suburb. The site is bounded by residential dwellings on all aspects. Access can be gained to the site from Outwood Lane and Low Lane.

D E S C R I P T I O NThe site comprises an office building together with associated garaging, cottage and parking. The sale opportunity will be available in two lots, with Lot 1 comprising the office building and Lot 2 comprising the garaging, cottage and yard. We are inviting offers for part or whole.

The office building was constructed in the 1970’s with a concrete frame, being comprised over four floors, from lower ground floor through to ground, first and second floor with undercroft parking. The building is set over a sloping site with a ground and lower ground floor. The main entrance is at ground floor. The building has two stair cores. On the western corner of the site is a more recent garage/warehouse building used for parking, behind which is a small 2-storey stone cottage attached to the rear of the garage. The total site area is approximately 0.68 acres (0.275 hectares).

Subject to the necessary consent, the site would be suitable to a number of uses, including redevelopment to residential via permitted development rights or retention and refurbishment as an office premises. The garaging, cottage and yard area would be suitable for a new build residential scheme, subject to the necessary planning consents. We have an indicative scheme to demonstrate how the site could be redeveloped on our dataroom, which accounts for 34 apartments in Bridge House and 9 apartments in the car park.

The site is available with Vacant Possession.

T E N U R E The site is available on a freehold basis.

P L A N N I N G None of the building structures are listed. The site is located in Flood Zone 1 so is at the lowest risk from flooding. In order to change the use to residential, a Prior Notification application will need to be submitted to Leeds City Council. A new scheme in the car park would require a separate planning application. One of the key benefits of securing Prior Approval rather than Planning Permission is that the residential use would not be subject to planning obligations, in particular the requirement to provide affordable housing. The office building may also be able to benefit from recently introduced permitted development rights which would allow the building to be demolished and rebuilt, with the potential for up to 2no. stories to be added. Savills Planning have appraised the site and its development options, please contact the agents if you would like to discuss with the planners in more detail.
