Acting on the instructions of DLS Developments, Holloway Iliffe & Mitchell and joint agent Warwick Martel have been instructed to let 17 Carlton Crescent, Southampton.In recent times No 17 was used for many years as Barristers Chambers and most recently has been occupied by a well known public relations company who undertook a comprehensive refurbishment to create a number of open plan areas and a contemporary modern look.
The building, built in 1830 as a house, has three storeys with basement and occupies a prominent location in the heart of Southampton’s main professional business district, within 5 minutes’ walk of the city’s Law Courts.
Other occupiers in Carlton Crescent include Handelsbanken, Eric Robinson Solicitors, insolvency practitioners Begbies Traynor & recruitment consultants Cluett Reeve.
The premises are available to let on a new lease, on terms to be agreed, at a quoting rent of £38,000 per annum, exclusive with the benefit of parking for up to 20 cars at the front and rear of the property.
Major Clarke used to live in the terrace, and in 1861 while at the Ordnance Survey in Southampton, employed as a geodesist, made calculations that were adopted as the first widely accepted modern values of the size and shape of the Earth.
Craig Powell, Associate Director who deals with Southampton commercial property at Holloway Iliffe & Mitchell commented:
“It isn’t often that you find a city centre office with generous parking, period features and fitted out in a modern contemporary style, it would perfectly suit a local technology, media or telecommunications business”
