The property on Figtree Lane was once home to the Figtree Sandwich Bar, the contents of which are still in the building. The cafe was a familiar sight and popular stop for people working in the surrounding Cathedral district of the city, popular with law firms.
Auctioneers Mark Jenkinson & Son state the building has “potential for ongoing use” as a cafe or conversion to a “rare city centre house”. The property will come with planning permission for a two-storey dwelling.
The plans outline a one-bed house with a gross floor area of 480 square feet. On the ground floor of the proposed dwelling will be an entrance lobby, store cupboard, living room and kitchen. It will also have a bedroom and shower room/w.c on the first floor.
The property will be available for purchase/bidding during the auction on Tuesday, April 4, 2023.
