L1 Lyceum Building, Bold Street, Liverpool

The Grade II Listed landmark building was constructed in 1802 as the Lyceum Library. The property is of stone construction beneath a slate pitched and part mansard roof. The accommodation is arranged over lower ground / basement / ground / first / second and part mezzanine level.

The property is currently split into 3 retail units: a lower ground floor unit currently occupied by the Cooperative Bank fronting Waterloo Place and two ground floor units, with one being a fitted bar fronting Bold Street. The property also provides office accommodation on the first and second floor which is accessed via a separate access from Bold Street.

Benefitting from many original features including an ornate entrance to the ground floor retail units, decorative pillars along the Bold Street frontage and a circular pitched room internally, the property underwent comprehensive modernisation and was extended at roof level in 1988/9.
