The Orangery And Lodge, Back Lane, Wakefield, West Yorkshire, WF1

About the property

An extremely rare opportunity has arisen to purchase one of Wakefield City Centre's most prestigious and renowned properties.

This Grade II * property dates back to the 18th century, and is originally linked to the nearby Pemberton House. It has had several uses over the years but originally built for horticultural purposes then becoming a small zoo, public bath and various other uses. It was last tenanted in 2016 for a conferencing and exhibition space and has since been vacant.

The site comprises of two buildings, The Orangery which is largely single storey with two rooms at the first floor comprising an open hall and large reception area plus ancillary rooms for amenities.

The second building on site is referred to as The lodge and is equivalent to a spacious two up two down. The site also has spacious grounds to the front and rear. The site totals approximately 0.7 acres.

Please note, the site buried remains and monuments in the grounds linked to the adjacent Unitarian Chapel which are consecrated grounds and therefore are protected and cannot be removed.

The property would lend itself to a variety of uses such as restaurant/bar, leisure, childrens day nursery, place of education, place of worship, training centre, clinic, community centre to name but a few and subject to planning permission.
