The whole site, consisting of commercial and
residential accommodation was available on a new lease at a quoting rent of
£34,000 per annum, exclusive.
Titchfield Festival Theatre was founded in
2000 after discussions with Titchfield Abbey Association and Kevin Fraser, a
business entrepreneur with a background in the theatrical world.
Commenting on the letting,
Luke Mort, Commercial Agent at Chartered Surveyors Holloway, Iliffe &
Mitchell said: “The site generated a substantial amount of interest for a
variety of different uses and was of increased appeal due to its attractive
rural setting. Terms were agreed with
the Theatre due to their experience of listed premises and their use being
complementary to the surroundings. ”
Kevin
Fraser, Artistic Director for Titchfield Festival Theatre commented that “The
occupation of Boarhunt Mill by the theatre will allow the company to
expand its wardrobe hire and props business in a beautiful setting and
compliments the company's current 99 year lease at the Grade I listed
Great Barn in Mill lane Titchfield.”
Holloway Iliffe & Mitchell remain very
active in the commercial property sector, in rural locations and along the
South Coast and seek new instructions to satisfy their active applicant
database.
