The International Yankee Candle Company has taken office space at Thornbury’s landmark Park House in a deal brokered by Colliers International.
The superb Georgian mansion – once the home of W G Grace’s elder brother – enjoys a leafy parkland setting just off the High Street.
Colliers International offices specialist Richard Wright said Yankee Candle had taken just over 1,500 sq ft on the ground floor of the Grade II listed property.
He said: “This is an outstanding quality building just minutes from the High Street and its lively pink paintwork will be familiar to visitors and residents alike.”
Yankee Candle is the world’s leading home fragrance manufacturer offering a broad assortment of highly scented candles along with innovative home fragrance products and decor accessories.
Grade II listed Park House offers good quality office accommodation on the ground and first floor.
The building provides character with individual offices benefiting from high ceilings and many original features, as well as category II lighting and gas fired central heating.
Richard Wright said: “Doctor Edward Mills Grace’s cricketing career was somewhat overshadowed by that of his younger brother W G Grace – but he was still one of England’s most well known cricketers back in the 1860s and 1870s.
“He lived at Park House while working as a doctor in Thornbury and serving as coroner for the area.”
The first floor comprising of 1,697 sq ft of office space is still available and benefits from kitchen and WC facilities. There is additional storage space available in the basement.
There are six on-site car parking spaces available with the first floor, as well as attractive landscaped grounds.
