General Description - The property comprises a prominently located family
residence together with a self-contained ground floor
retail/office premises, very well presented throughout
and arranged in open plan offering a rare opportunity to
live adjacent to your place of work or alternatively rent
out the commercial space to generate a passive income.
Originally constructed in the early 1900’s as a spacious dwelling
house, the property has subsequently been extended at ground
level to create the sales area together with the storage
accommodation which for many years traded as a shoe shop
until the proprietor retired.
The residential parts are completely separated from the
commercial unit and offers spacious living accommodation all
of which has been meticulously looked after by the current
owner who has lived and worked from the property for several
decades. Externally, there are private well-proportioned and
manicured gardens together with a drive leading to a single
garage, which could be converted into additional living
accommodation. There are also two very useful outbuildings
providing external storage accommodation that could
compliment the business. The property retains the majority of
its original features and has recently had all of the external roof
surfaces overhauled and bathrooms have also recently been
completely refurbished, leaving only the kitchen to update and
giving the buyer an opportunity of putting their own stamp on
the property

necessary.
