Permission has been granted to turn the first and second floors from offices into four one-bedroom flats.

Savills agent Thomas Higgins said the building offered “an excellent development and investment opportunity” with lots of potential.

“The property is in a prime spot in the centre of town with the added advantage of being next to a walkway that leads from the high street to the beach. We are expecting plenty of interest,” he said.

There is no official guide price and offers are invited.
