The property comprises two distinct elements. A substantial grade II listed edwardian baroque detached building, and a site to the rear that accommodates the Crossrail Fisher Street Shaft and TFL Headquarters.
Carlisle House is of steel frame construction with stone facing and extends to approximately 18,016 sq ft/1,673.7 sq m over eight upper storeys, with an additional two basement levels. The site to the rear extends to approximately 0.112 hectares with a TfL Headhouse positioned above the Crossrail shaft, broadly in the centre of the site. The Headhouse does not form part of the sale, the lease is for the airspace above the building. We understand during the construction of the Headhouse, various load-bearing points were installed. Please refer to the leases for further details.
We understand the property was originally built as a hotel, but over the years has supported a range of uses, most recently as short-term Crossrail offices where the temporary planning consent fell away on vacation in 2019. The property’s current unoccupied use is a public house at basement levels, ground and first floors, with the six upper floors providing self-contained residential accommodation comprising two 1-bedroom units and seven 2-bedroom units.
The property benefits from existing planning permission for a mixed-use development. There is scope for alternative uses and schemes subject obtaining the necessary consents.
Location
Holborn is a vibrant, mixed-use destination within the midtown district, offering exceptional access to both The West End and The City.
The location benefits from a wide and varied offering including hotels, serviced apartments, traditional/serviced offices, retail and residential accommodation, amongst the various museums and tourist attractions.
The property is positioned at the junction where Southampton Row meets Fisher Street and Catton Street. Covent Garden, Oxford Circus, Soho and the majority of Central London’s key landmarks are within a short walk of the property.
Nearby transport links are outstanding, with Holborn Underground Station being situated approximately 75 metres to the south, providing access to the London Underground network through the Central and Piccadilly Lines. Proposed Holborn Underground Station upgrades will increase the capacity and access for the station.
The area is undergoing significant investment around Tottenham Court Road station, which provides access to the Northern Line and Elizabeth Line (Crossrail). The Elizabeth Line has been the biggest infrastructure in a generation and has vastly improved access to Central London both east and west of London.
