The property is prominently situated at the southern end of Stafford town centre at the junctions of the Lichfield Road with Bridge Street and Newport Road and in an area characterised by a mixture of retail and leisure uses.
The premises are close to Wetherspoon's Picture House and Revolution Bars outlets and the Casa and the Couture and Noir et Blanc Nightclubs. A new leisure complex has been built in the vicinity and incorporates a multi-screen cinema together with various restaurant outlets with The Waterfront multi-storey car park forming part of the scheme.
The Old Library, also known as The Green, is an imposing landmark Grade II listed building of two-storey brick construction with a striking portico entrance feature and was built in 1913 to provide the town's library, museum and art gallery, those functions having been relocated in 1999.
The property was last used for office purposes but would be suitable for a wide variety of alternative commercial purposes subject to the appropriate planning consent and might be of interest to licensed and leisure operators given its proximity to similar operations.
Planning permission for A3 (Restaurant and Cafes) use has been granted and has been implemented although extensive refurbishment and fitting out works are still required.
