Prominent building with potential for alternative uses and redevelopment for sale in Ipswich town centre

Occupying a prominent position on the corner of Princes Street and King Street overlooking Giles Circus, Mutual House is a substantial property comprising two interconnected buildings extending to 6,310sq ft.

The property is rich with historical significance and serves as a well-known local landmark, currently home to Suffolk Building Society who are planning to relocate to alternative town centre branch premises in due course.

The self-contained upper floors offer scope for redevelopment, a preliminary scheme having previously been prepared for conversion into five separate apartments, whilst the ground floor provides modern banking branch premises with potential for alternative retail and restaurant uses.

The property is available freehold, with offers invited in the region of £750,000 and the current occupier may consider a short-term lease, pending relocation.   On the market with our Ipswich Commercial division, please contact Alistair Mitchell on 01473 232701 or find more information below:
