The former Royal Bank of Scotland building in Southport town centre is available to let.
The vacant Grade II Listed four-storey building, one of the most stunning on Lord Street, was built as a bank in 1893, in the Victorian era, by WW Gwyther.
Situated at 269 Lord Street it is described by Christia & Co as being located “on a prime position on Lord Street, with nearby occupiers including Starbucks, Loungers and Prezzo.”
It has a new lease for a term to be agreed with a ground floor extending to 3,709 sq ft in a four-storey building.
Christie & Co said: “The premises are in a prime trading position on Southport’s most major road, Lord Street.
“This Grade II listed building comprises the main banking hall, rear office, interview room, staff room, kitchen, strong room, ancillary storage and WC’s. There is scope to change the layout of the premises to suit a change of use.
“It is felt that the building would lend itself to alternative use subject to planning permission.
“This is a fantastic opportunity to take over a Grade II listed property in a prime pitch in Southport, of which it lends itself to many uses.
“The property is available on a new effective full repairing and insuring lease with a rent-free period available.
“A new large £100m investment convention centre is being built which will attract up to 300,000 extra tourists per year. There is huge demand for hotels in Southport locally.”

The Royal Bank Of Scotland branch on Lord Street closed on 22rd of March 2022, leaving Southport without any RBS branches.
The firm blamed an increase in people using mobile and online services and decreasing numbers of people using the building itself.
Customers were instead being asked to use the NatWest branch on Lord Street.
The firm has closed a number of RBS and NatWest branches in Southport in recent years, including in Churchtown and Ainsdale.
