Rushton Hickman has sold ‘The Thomas Sykes building’, which comprises a unique split-level former licensed public house that was originally developed from stables within the historic Everards Burton Brewery site.
The property is situated in an area that has seen a surge in the conversion of commercial buildings to residential use and being so prominently situated in a busy location, there is significant potential for the building.
The Redeemed Christian Church of God Zion Hill Burton has acquired the Thomas Sykes building and they intend to transform it into a community centre that will be open to all, providing much-needed assistance, support and opportunities to strengthen the local community.
Mr Owaboye from the Redeemed Christian Church said: “We were extremely happy with the speed of the sale and the property itself. The community centre will help us to provide a range of activity to the general public, reduce inequalities and help us deal with the required demand.”
Commercial Property Agent, Taylor Millington said: “When we brought this property to the market, it generated a lot of interest due to being in the heart of a residential area and close to the town centre. It is rewarding to see the building being utilised for community welfare which will ultimately benefit the local residents.”
