Agents Comments
The Times & Echo offices represent a fantastic opportunity to acquire a substantial and well-known building in central St Ives. What makes the property particularly appealing is the flexibility it offers. With several separate working areas spread over two floors, there is considerable scope for a purchaser to adapt the accommodation to suit their own requirements. Whether continuing as offices, creating studio or gallery space, or investigating the possibility of an alternative use or future development, this is a building with plenty of potential. Properties of this nature and in such a central location are not often available, and we would certainly recommend viewing to appreciate the accommodation and opportunities on offer. IMPORTANT NOTE: Any suggested alternative uses, alterations or development opportunities would be subject to the necessary planning permissions, building regulations and other relevant statutory consents. Prospective purchasers should make their own enquiries with Cornwall Council.
