York-based property company the Helmsley Group has acquired a 17th century grade II listed former coach house in Henley-on-Thames.
Ed Harrowsmith, investment director at Helmsley Group, said: “Following a competitive bidding process, we’re thrilled to have made our first acquisition on behalf of our private investors in the iconic market town of Henley-on-Thames. The desirability of Henley-on-Thames compliments the prime and affluent locations that offer attractive potential investment returns within our managed portfolio, outside of the major city centre conurbations.
“This acquisition presents an exciting opportunity to further expand our reach on behalf of our 800 client investors nationwide and we look forward to further investments nationally over the coming months.”
The building at 21-23 Hart Street stands within a private courtyard and is divided into a large restaurant currently leased to Zizzi Restaurants and two self-contained courtyard offices providing over 7,500 sq ft of internal accommodation.
There is also land to the rear of the property providing 20 on-site car parking spaces, taking the total site area to one third of an acre.
James Bradley at Knights PLC and Tom Heptonstall from FMX Urban Property Advisers acted on the purchase for Helmsley Group.
