Property investment and development specialist, Helmsley Group has added to its extensive UK-wide property portfolio with the acquisition of a prime mixed-use commercial scheme in the Oxfordshire market town of Henley-on-Thames.
Helmsley Group, headquartered in York, has secured a sought-after grade II listed former coach house, in the highly desirable area, which dates back to the 17th century.
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.
Commenting on the acquisition of 21-23 Hart Street 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.”
James Bradley at Knights PLC and Tom Heptonstall from FMX Urban Property Advisers acted on the purchase for Helmsley Group.
