Description

A former restaurant with secondary pizza takeaway service alongside. The restaurant area has recently been converted to create a take away counter service area with pizza oven, in addition to which there is a large bread oven believed to date from the late 19th century in the service area. There is a stainless steel commercial catering kitchen and customer cloakroom. The property needs bringing back to its former glory and offers an excellent opportunity for someone to put their own mark on it. In addition to the business potential, 71 Fore Street also has self contained owners accommodation which could create a comfortable and characterful home which in parts is estimated to date back to the 17th century. There is a very pleasant paved garden and a private off-road parking space. Subject to the necessary planning consents being obtained there is also the possibility of converting the whole property to residential accommodation to create a cosy and comfortable characterful town centre property.

Buckfastleigh lies on the southern edge of Dartmoor National Park just off the A38 Expressway, roughly at the mid-way point between the two Devon cities of Exeter and Plymouth. The town has a strong local community plus serves numerous outlying rural villages. It also attracts plenty of visitors each year coming off the moor and visiting the nearby tourist attractions of Buckfast Abbey, Pennywell Farm and the South Devon Stream Railway. Local amenities include primary school, health centre and co-operative stores. A wider range of facilities are available in the close-by towns of Ashburton and Totnes, where there is a mine line railway station. Fore Street, a one way road, is the main thoroughfare within Buckfastleigh and 71 Fore Street enjoys a prominent position with on street and public car parking nearby.
