#TheGardenOfEngland

This landmark village property presents a rare opportunity to acquire a combination of residential and commercial accommodation, together with a generous rear garden that may offer future development potential, subject to the necessary planning consents.

The Grade II listed property currently comprises a spacious three-bedroom first-floor apartment, accessed independently from the side of the building, together with parking to the rear. In addition, there is an unused area of ground-floor accommodation which, subject to any necessary consents, could potentially be converted into a self-contained one-bedroom dwelling or ancillary accommodation. The village shop occupies the ground floor under the terms of a 10-year commercial lease, providing an established rental income. Further financial information relating to the tenancy is available upon request.

The current owners have commissioned an independent planning appraisal, which is available upon request. The report concludes that the rear garden may have potential to accommodate some form of residential development, subject to obtaining the appropriate planning permission. A cautious approach is recommended, supported by specialist arboricultural and heritage advice so prospective purchasers are advised to make their own enquiries and satisfy themselves as to the suitability of any future proposals they might make.

Agent's Note: Due to the mixed-use nature of the property, it is anticipated that the purchase will be most suitable for cash buyers or those who have secured appropriate commercial or mixed-use finance. We recommend that prospective purchasers speak with their mortgage broker or lender prior to arranging a viewing.
