Ayres Street, London, SE1

Unique & Historic Freehold Building For Sale

DESCRIPTION

Erected by Octavia Hill in 1887, Redcross Hall (now known as Bishops Hall) was officially opened by the Archbishop of Canterbury in 1888. Designed by Elijah Hoole, with interior decorations by Walter Crane, it was originally created as a theatre for people living in the area. The hall, Redcross Cottages and Red Cross Garden remain today a significant reminder of the work of Octavia Hill in the Southwark area

The property is currently arranged as the main hall plus mezzanine areas to the front and rear, together with a small first floor also at the front with w.c.s, kitchen and shower.

A suspended tile ceiling is currently in situ but above this is the fully intact spectacular vaulted roof.

Accessed via a passage way between Redcross Cottages, the building also has two doors at the rear (the former gentlemen and ladies' entrances to the theatre) giving direct access to the picturesque Redcross Gardens, including an ornamental pond and rose arbour.

The current configuration provides an overall floor area of approximately 2,159 sq ft (200 sqm) but Bishops Hall has ample scope for additional floor space given the very high space internally, with excellent natural light and would be of interest to purchasers with imagination seeking a truly unique project opportunity.

LOCATION

Bishop's Hall is located on Ayres Street between Marshalsea Road and Union Street, within a short walk of London Bridge station and Borough Underground together with the various attractions of the popular Borough Market and Bankside locality, including Tate Modern.

Recent and on-going major redevelopment has transformed this area into one of London's most sought after business, leisure and residential destinations.

PROPOSAL

Bishops Hall is offered for sale freehold with full vacant possession. Unconditional offers only.

Price On Application.
