Oddfellows Hall was constructed in 1892 and comprises a substantial three-storey Victorian building of traditional brick and tile construction with attractive arched features in the elevations fronting both Greengate Street and Tipping Street.
The available part of the property consists of a ground floor entrance hall with automated sliding plate glass door access leading to a staircase and passenger lift and then to first floor accommodation. This includes an administration office, conference/function room with a bar, a cloakroom, a kitchen and male and female and disabled WC facilities. There is the option of additional storage space at attic level if required.
The premises are now surplus to operational requirements and are likely to be of interest to an office user or a prospective tenant requiring a large meeting, conference or training facility.
Location
The property is situated on the east side of Greengate Street at its junction with Tipping Street and in the pedestrianised retail part of Stafford town centre. Branches of Superdrug, Thomas Cook, TUI Thompson and various banks including the Co-operative, National Westminster and Halifax are located in the vicinity
