Former Nottingham card shop building heading to auction with £400,000 guide price
A Grade II-listed building which housed a well-known greetings card shop is up for sale - 16 months after Cardzone in Nottingham city centre closed down. The five-storey retail unit in Angel Row is up for auction next month with a guide price of £400,000.
Selling agents Auction Estates Ltd, based in Nottingham, said that it is "a rare opportunity" to acquire a freehold five-storey building with a ground-floor retail unit and four self-contained upper floors, which it adds there is "scope for conversion of upper floors to residential, subject to planning permission".
The particulars says that the building is on a busy thoroughfare "with high levels of footfall, and that it is close to KFC, Slug and Lettuce, McDonald's and Tesco.
Ahead of closing as Cardzone, the store held an everything must-go sale. It is understood staff members at the shop were made redundant and it became the third store owned by Farnsfield to close in Nottinghamshire in 2023, following Cardzone, Beeston and Paper Kisses in Kirkby-in-Ashfield.
The auction will take place on December 12 in the Derek Randall Suite at the Trent Bridge Cricket Ground, situated above the Hound Road Stand.
