An office building just off Braintree High Street is set to go under the hammer next month.

The period building, located close to the high street's junction with St Michael's Road opposite St Michael's Church, is being offered at Clive Emson's Essex regional sale in Chelmsford on Monday, June 11 at a freehold guide price of £200,000.

Auction Paul Bridgeman said: “The premises is arranged over two levels and is conveniently placed for facilities in the town centre.

“Furthermore vehicular access to the A120 is within one mile and Braintree railway station which offers a service to London is within half a mile.

“There may be potential under permitted development for change of use to residential subject to prior approval.

"Interested applicants are advised to make their own enquiries with the local planning authority.”

The ground floor of the premises is made up of a reception area, toilet and kitchen facilities and an office or storage area.

On the first floor is an open plan office with a separate toilet.

There are two allocated parking spaces in the courtyard area at the front of the building.
