Description
29 Lowther Street is an attractive three-storey mid-terrace office building of limestone construction, beneath a graduated slate roof. The property dates back to around 1782 and is Grade II Listed, retaining many of its original Georgian features including symmetrical sash windows, decorative coving and a striking arched stone entrance.
The building is divided into two parts: No. 29, which forms the main three-storey office building, and No. 29A, a separately accessed and self-contained section arranged over the ground and first floors. No.29 in part oversails No.29a.
29 Lowther Street is accessed via stone steps through an impressive archway. The ground floor opens into a spacious hallway with doors off to three office rooms. A rear door provides access to the garden and yard area, and a lobby gives access to the basement.
The central staircase leads to the first floor where there are doors off to two offices, steps up to a half landing where there is a WC and further large office. At second floor the hallway leads to two offices and a half landing giving access to three additional rooms, suitable for use as offices, meeting rooms or storage.
The accommodation benefits from period character features such as sash windows, fireplaces and high ceilings, offering bright and well-proportioned workspace throughout.
Externally, to the rear there is an attractive garden area - unusual for a town centre property - together with a private car parking space.
