The former Custom House, in the heart of Harwich, is on the market with a price of £750,000.

Savills jointly with Fenn Wright, have been appointed to market The Custom House on Main Road, Dovercourt in Harwich.

The vacant freehold is being marketed at a guide price of £750,000.

The former HMRC building, comprises 27,828 sq ft (2,585 sq m) of office, storage and incinerator space, which subject to planning has considerable redevelopment potential, according to the agents.

Phil Dennis, director in the business space team at Savills Chelmsford, said: “This is an excellent opportunity to purchase a sizeable vacant building just moments from Dovercourt Railway Station, providing strong transport links to both London and the surrounding areas. Situated in a suburban location, the building has significant scope for alternative use, including conversion to residential with the relevant planning permission.

“For this reason we expect to receive significant interest from prospective purchasers.”
