The property comprises a substantial former Grade II Listed cinema arranged over basement, ground and first floors, together with an adjoining detached mixed-use building known as 710 Woodborough Road. The overall site extends to approximately 13,000 sq ft (1,210 m² / 0.30 acres) and includes around 4,000 sq ft (370 m²) of land to the rear, suitable for parking, outdoor amenity, or potential development, subject to consents.
The main building (700–708 Woodborough Road) includes a foyer with ticket hall, main hall, multiple rooms and WCs, with additional accommodation at first floor and attic levels. The detached building at 710 Woodborough Road provides a reception room, WC, two first-floor bedrooms with shower room, and two attic rooms, offering flexible mixed-use or ancillary space.
The property offers excellent scope for community, educational, or religious use (such as a place of worship) or potential residential conversion, subject to the necessary planning permissions.
Additional Development Potential (Side Section – 700/708/710 Woodborough Road)
The adjoining side section of land forms part of the wider 700–710 Woodborough Road site, which already benefits from a detailed Design & Access Statement prepared by MHA Architects for a high-quality residential redevelopment. The approved concept includes three contemporary two-storey blocks (A, B, and C) delivering a total of seven apartments — each designed to complement the Grade II listed former Majestic Cinema and to integrate seamlessly with the surrounding street scene.
This side parcel presents an opportunity to extend or complement the existing scheme with an additional residential or mixed-use component. Subject to planning and obtaining all relevant consents, it could accommodate further self-contained units, studios, or a small commercial/creative space at ground level. The site benefits from existing vehicular access via The Wells Road, a lower-level hardstanding approximately three metres below Woodborough Road.

By setting a proxy bid, the system will automatically bid on your behalf to maintain your position as the highest bidder, up to your proxy bid amount. If you are outbid, you will be notified via email so you can opt to increase your bid if you so choose.
If two of more users place identical bids, the bid that was placed first takes precedence, and this includes proxy bids.
Another bidder placed an automatic proxy bid greater or equal to the bid you have just placed. You will need to bid again to stand a chance of winning.
