Upper Bar, Newport Shropshire

Smallwood Lodge tea rooms is a Grade 2 listed property steeped in local history and is said to be one of two buildings to escape the great fire in 1665. Records state this property was built C1600 as a dwelling and extended in the 17th century, re-faced in the 19th century when it was used for other purposes. This property is bursting with character features including exposed timbers, sash and canted bay windows. Smallwood Lodge is currently run as a tea room to the ground floor and a hairdressing salon to the first floor. Recently the adjoining coach house has been converted to provide additional seating for the tea room with a mezzanine above. The mezzanine is currently used as store however could provide additional dining space. Smallwood Lodge benefits from a low maintenance garden to the front and a courtyard garden to the rear. While Smallwood Lodge is currently used as commercial premises the layout could lend itself to a residential property ( subject to planning consent).
