About this property
Description
Guide price £200,000 to £250,000
The Reading Room in Church Lane, Upminster was built in 1885 for the public by the lord of the manor for locals and farm workers to provide somewhere for them to read news papers and other material. It has been used for parties, village meetings, hand bell ringing, sports and entertainment but has now fallen into disrepair.
The main hall is in reasonable condition and lends itself to conversion (subject to local authority approval) or re-instatement. The kitchen and toilet blocks to rear are in a dilapidated state but if planning was granted for residential status, this would make a great garden area. The front garden could also provide off street parking.
The property is located in a semi rural area off Ockendon Road with Ockendon and Upminster Stations and several schools within a two mile radius. The 370 bus route provides services to both Romford and Lakeside so although you could enjoy "living in the country", shops and restaurants are all accessible.
