A FORMER hotel in Wigton is on the marker for a bargain fee.

The former Crown Hotel is being offered at a guide price of just £70,000 (plus fees), when it goes to auction next week.

The property, located 41 High Street, is over three-storeys and extends to circa 2,240 sq. ft.

It benefits from a rear yard and basement area along with a prominent position in Wigton.

The area comprises several up-market retailers and a supermarket within walking distance.

A spokesman for SDL Property Auctions said the premises could be converted into a seven bedroomed house of multiple occupancy - subject to obtaining the appropriate planning consent.

The property is being sold in the National Property Auction on July 29 from 10am.
