About the Property
We are delighted to offer for sale this unique building of architectural interest, currently being used as commercial offices but with the potential for re-development subject to planning. The property is located in the centre of Ongar Town Centre with its many restaurants, coffee bars and bus links to Brentwood and Epping stations, and has good transport/road links.
The property is being sold with long standing ‘tenants in situ’, who are currently on rolling contracts, providing nearly a 7% yield, making it a fantastic investment opportunity for the right buyer. Although the property is being sold with tenants, it does also present itself with the potential (subject to planning) for re-development into an HMO.

Property Details
Listed as a building of architectural interest is this beautiful semi-detached house which was purpose built by Ongar District Council for their offices back in 1896. The property has been used as offices since it was built and is now divided up into 11 separate letting offices.
An entrance porch provides mailboxes for each individual office, with a further door leading into a spacious reception area with stairs rising to the first floor. On the ground floor there are four self-contained offices, a modern fitted kitchen, and separate male and female toilets. There is also access down to the basement, where the gas boiler is placed providing central heating to the whole building. The basement also provides an additional storage area.
To the first floor there are a further seven letting offices and an additional storage office. All lettings’ offices on this level have wash hand basins connected with hot and cold running water.
The property has been well maintained and is in good decorative order throughout with double-glazed windows to all aspects, and full gas central heating. There is also a large loft area of some 900 sq.ft which has very high ceilings and could be developed in to further offices (STPP).
Applicants should note there is no parking or outside space with this property, although there is parking nearby which is free of charge.
