A former Devonport bank is one of a number of landmark character pub buildings up for sale as part oaf Bayleys Realty Group's latest Total Property commercial and industrial portfolio.
The Patriot Hotel building, located in the heart of Devonport's retail precinct next to the Jackson's Museum. It was formerly a bank, with the BNZ occupying the site from 1926 until 1975. The bank initially leased the land from the Auckland Grammar School board and then the Crown before acquiring freehold title.
In more recent years, it has operated as a bar and restaurant building and was formerly the Bankhouse Restaurant and Alehouse. In 2004 it was established as The Patriot, an English-style pub and restaurant which is also a popular live music venue.
The Patriot has signed a new 10-year lease producing initial annual net rental income of $100,000, with two yearly rent reviews. The building is being auctioned on June 25.
Marketing agent Robert Platt, of Bayleys Auckland Central, says the building has considerable style and character. The street side of the building is in an Edwardian style with Corinthian column tops and an ornate plaster facade.
Platt says the inside space is almost in original condition and features polished kauri floors and a solid plaster roof with an ornate rosette above the bar.
The customer area incorporates the former bank vault and two open fireplaces with ornate timber surrounds and there is Flemish window glazing as well as stained glass windows on the western side of the building.
