Carlisle’s former laser quest is set to go under the hammer for up to £400,000.
The three-storey office building on Hillcrest Avenue was formerly home to laser quest, glow-in-the-dark mini golf and escape rooms.
It was the headquarters for entertainment company Total Enigma and renewable energy business Total Power.
The building, a mile from the city centre, will be offered for sale in an online property auction held by Pugh, part of Eddisons, tomorrow, Wednesday August 27.
The building underwent a £500,000 refurbishment in 2020, which included extensive modernisation to operate as an entertainment venue with the remainder of the accommodation remaining as offices.
It also saw in the creation of leisure attractions such as laser quest, a CSI-themed escape room, and a glow-in-the-dark mini golf course installed in 2021. Work had also begun on a new paintball arena.
The building has a reception area with kitchens, store rooms and toilet facilities on each floor as well as a large party/function room.
It also has a self-contained flat with conservatory and extensive basement, attic storage areas and a 36-space gated car park.
Energy-efficient upgrades were also carried out, including triple-glazed windows and an air-source heating and cooling system.
Beyond the leisure facilities, the property includes modern office accommodation, a large function room, a self-contained flat with conservatory, and extensive basement and attic storage.
It is set to go under the hammer with a guide price of £300,000 to £400,000.
Paul Parker, associate director at Pugh, said: “It’s not every day a chance to buy your own laser quest and escape room venue comes along. The entertainment areas were installed on floating floors, so they can easily be altered or removed. The space is extremely flexible – each floor could function as a self-contained unit.
“Under new ownership, the property could continue as an entertainment venue, be returned to office use, or be redeveloped for alternative purposes subject to planning consent.”
