Someone wanting to invest in the future of a historic property could claim this building that once saw justice being served. The former courthouse, situated in Holywell town centre, is a blank canvas that is set to become a cluster of one-bedroom apartments.

Plans drawn up by developers suggest the building is split into three ground-floor properties, a fourth on the upper floor and a duplex. All of which will benefit from a secure parking area and be self-contained to avoid the need for communal spaces.

The Old Court House is a Grade II Listed Building and is situated within a Conservation Area. The property is walking distance of Holywell town centre offering a range of independent shops as well as local recreation facilities, schools and public transport links.

Planning permission by North Wales Developments was secured after the 19th century building, which was last used in 1998, fell into disrepair. It intends to breathe new life into the sandstone-covered building and provide much-needed housing in the area with this project.

In the planning documents, it stated: "The layout of the will provide satisfactory standards of accommodation, but also minimise impact on the internal character of the listed building. The site is located on the fringe of the commercial town and boarders with the transition to residential properties. There is demand for quality affordable housing in this locality and the building has been considered suitable to meet this need."

The Halkyn Street property is listed online via William Gleave Estate Agents priced at just under £190,000. For further information, pictures, floorplans or to make an enquiry go here or call 01244 543 651.
