A town centre building that is home to a bank branch has been listed for sale. 

48 High Street in Newmarket, where Lloyds Bank is currently open, has appeared on Zoopla listed for £770,000. 

The listing states the property is let to Lloyds Bank plc on a "full repairing and insuring lease for a term of five years" which expires on March 24, 2027. 

Lloyds Bank has been in occupation at the site for more than 40 years. 

The property was issued a Certificate of Proposed Lawful Use or Development by West Suffolk Council on March 27, permitting change of use of the property from a bank to restaurant or coffee shop without the need for planning permission.

The online listing reads: "This helps establish an alternative use for the property should Lloyds vacate at some point in the future." 

The building comprises of four storeys - a basement, ground, first and second floor. 

Earlier this month, a Lloyds Bank spokesperson revealed the bank will change its opening hours next month. 

Starting on the week of Monday, July 15, the bank will be closed on Tuesdays with colleagues who normally work from the branch supporting customers through other channels.

"As more customers choose to manage their day-to-day banking online, it’s important our people are available when it matters most," the spokesperson said.

"From 15th July, the Newmarket branch will be open on Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and Fridays between 9am-4pm and on Saturdays between 9am-1pm.

"Customers can bank with us through our mobile app or online 24/7, and can use the local Post Office or alternative branches."

When approached for comment on the site being listed for sale, a spokesperson said: "We haven't made any announcements about the Newmarket Lloyds Bank branch and, if anything were to change, our colleagues and customers would be the first to know."
