A BUILDING WITH HISTORY This is a property with genuine history within St Annes. The building was originally established as a Lancashire & Yorkshire Bank branch in 1894. It subsequently became Martins Bank in 1928, before becoming a Barclays Bank branch in 1969. Banking services operated from the building for an impressive 128 years, with Barclays ultimately closing the branch on 3 November 2022. Barclays occupied the property for 53 years, making it a well-established and recognisable landmark within the town centre. The property has therefore been a prominent commercial destination in St Annes for generations and offers a rare opportunity to give a new business a highly recognisable town-centre presence. FIVE LUXURY APARTMENTS ABOVE Adding further appeal to the property, the upper floors are currently being renovated by the landlord to create five luxury two-bedroom apartments. This significant investment will transform the upper parts of the building into high-quality residential accommodation, creating a substantial mixed-use scheme while retaining the impressive commercial space at ground and basement level.
