This characterful, newly renovated town centre property offers great space and potential with part residential, part business premises over two floors, outbuildings and a private garden. The property has ample character and charm, with lots of potential to add further value – a unique opportunity. The retail portion is currently set out as a shop, however, it would be ideal for any live-work situation (home office, studio etc) subject to any necessary local authority planning consents.
The ground floor has a total area of approximately 616 sq ft (57.15 sq m) and comprises of a Retail shop and storage area behind if required. The shops has been tastefully refurbished in an organic, old-world style and benefits from a good display window frontage. Features include solid Ash parquet floors, exposed lime washed bricks, shelving and a work island. Generally a large and flexible space, ideally suited to a range of ‘work from home’ uses. The combined area is approximately 360 sq ft (33.5 sq m).

A rear lobby/utility/storage area has an external door, stairs to the first floor, and access to the generous kitchen/diner. This standout room has been tastefully refurbished by the current owners in a traditional vintage style, with a good range of fitted units, integrated fridge-freezer, dishwasher, Range-style electric oven, tiled floors, exposed brickwork and lime rendered walls. Bay window to the front aspect and back door leading to the courtyard, store room and rear garden. Eco-friendly finishes and paints have been used throughout the property, where possible. There is also newly installed electric heaters in each room.

Upstairs there is a large, bright living room with windows to the front aspect and wood burning stove within an attractive fireplace. On this level, there are also two lovely double bedrooms overlooking the rear garden. A family bathroom is currently in the completion stages of refurbishment and includes a P-shaped bath/shower, laminate flooring and Laura Ashley wall tiles. A separate laundry room is situated next to the bathroom, which will house an unvented hot water cylinder and space for a washing machine. From the lounge, there is access to the large boarded loft area, currently used a storage. This space would lend itself well to conversion, with the potential for a large master bedroom, however this may require planning consent and building control compliance.

Outside: there is a delightful and private enclosed garden to the rear of the property that can also be accessed through a pedestrian walkway to the side and includes a deck area, ‘no-dig’ veg patch, apple tree, greenhouse and ample flowers for a wildlife friendly garden. In the summer months, it is a real sun-trap. There is also brick-built outbuilding with an overall floor area of around 150 sq ft. This is currently used as a storage area but could be renovated for a range of uses, depending on need.
