<p data-pm-slice="1 1 []">The building was originally a commercial bacon smoking factory. The upper two floors were converted into residential dwellings in 1985.  but the ground floor remained commercial. The ground floor had a light industrial planning permission which prevented use as a residential dwelling.</p>
The ground floor was brought by Mr Stephen in 2016. He also used it commercially and renovations were completed in 2019.  The ground floor was split into two sections separated by a glass partition. The front consisted of a garage for underground parking and storage as well as a fire-proof glass enclosure. The back contained a wine cellar, sauna, and more storage, to be used commercially as a games room and bar.

In 2024, the property was sold to Mr Tretyakov. The selling agent’s website advertised the property as a residential dwelling, but Mr Tretyakov was informed of the planning restriction prohibiting residential use on the ground floor. Mr Tretyakov believed that the property was mixed-use and would attract the lower commercial mixed use SDLT rates.
