7 North Street provides a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial detached retail unit in the High Town area of Luton. The property occupies a site of approximately 0.2 acres and offers the potential for a residential led development of the site or alternative uses such as community facilities, subject to planning.

Alternatively, recent changes to Permitted Development Rights allows the conversion of an E use class building to residential use subject to meeting certain criteria. It may also be possible, subject to planning, to extend the existing property to the rear or by adding an additional second floor. Furthermore, the extensive car park to the rear could provide a purchaser with the opportunity to develop additional residential units either as a flat scheme or a terrace of town houses. Further details are available on request.
