Burnham-On-Sea’s former Lloyds Bank building in the centre of the town has gone on sale.
Priced at £225,000, the building is prominently located on the corner of High Street and
College Street. It is being sold as a former bank and apartment.
Lloyds closed its Burnham-On-Sea branch last autumn, as Burnham-On-Sea.com reported here, due to ‘declining use caused by a rise in digital transactions’.
Property agent Greenslade Taylor Hunt says: “The property offers a former banking hall and ancillary areas totalling 1,356 sq ft on the ground floor, with a separately-accessed 4 bedroomed apartment on first and second floors totalling 2,354 sq ft.”
“This is an attractive building arranged over ground, first and second floors benefitting from an enclosed gated yard to the side suitable for parking.”
“The ground floor comprises a former banking hall, offices, stores, a strong room, a safe and a kitchen which is suitable for reconfiguration to a number of commercial uses including retail, as a café, a restaurant, a bar, a clinic or a day centre.”
“A separate door fronting High Street provides independent staircased access to a large 4 bedroomed apartment at first floor level. A further staircase accesses loft rooms currently used for storage but suitable for conversion on the second floor. The ground floor hallway also provides direct access to the rear yard, suitable for parking 5 vehicles.”
“Surrounded by a diverse mix of national retailers, independent shops, cafes and local services, the property benefits from a strong community presence and seasonal tourist traffic. The property is available for sale with vacant possession.”
The closure meant Nationwide is the only remaining bank in Burnham-On-Sea. Nat West shut down its Burnham-On-Sea branch in October 2017. Barclays Bank also closed its Burnham-On-Sea branch in 2018. And HSBC also shut its branch in Burnham-On-Sea’s College Street during 2017.
