Along with the commercial/restaurant unit at the front, there is a private self-contained 3 bed apartment at the rear, spanning to the first floor, this comes with good sized private courtyard garden and parking space.
The restaurant area to the front comprises of a serving counter and modern pizza oven, with additional service area behind. To the rear is a stainless-steel commercial kitchen along with the original bread oven, which is now decommissioned, there is also a sperate WC.
The self-contained 3-bedroom apartment is accessed via the rear of the property. On entering there is a good size dining and domestic kitchen area which then leads into a living room. The living area has a built-in storage cupboard and cast-iron wood burning stove, set in a stone fireplace.
On the first floor are 2 generous sized doubles and a single. The larger bedroom sits at the front of the property and has an ensuite shower room. The family bathroom has a white suite with bath and shower cubicle.
Outside the rear garden is laid to paving and boarded by mature shrubs and bushes. There is access from here to the parking space.
