ONE of Knutsford’s most iconic buildings has gone up for sale as an office.

The Marble Arch, in King Street, has long been office space above the arch and to the right as seen from the road, while space to the left of the arch is a residence.

Commercial property consultants Williams Sillitoe are overseeing the sale, expecting offers around £625,000.

A description said: “These historic offices are located in the heart of Knutsford. Marble Arch is one of Knutsford’s most recognisable and photographed properties. Special architectural features include the arched entry to the yard/passage, sash windows and plaster key stones.”

The building was once a coaching inn thought to have been known as The Mermaid, before becoming known as The Angel ahead of its move across the street. The space available is 1,917sq ft. Viewings can be arranged by calling 01565 260000 or emailing sg@willsill.co.uk.
