Historically, there were plans for a bowling alley and leisure scheme (planning permission was granted by South Lakeland District Council but never implemented) and the building is be suitable for a range of uses including offices, showroom, and leisure. Our clients are seeking a sympathetic developer to purchase the property on a 999-year lease (the equivalent to freehold), and we are currently conducting viewings of the space’.
