High Street, Malpas

Exceptional and unique property in the heart of Malpas with large mature garden, parking, four bedroom, three bathroom accommodation and a High Street facing shop / office providing investment income

Comment from Robert Reed of Gascoigne Halman

Having worked in the area since 2003 and sold a vast array of property, it is always pleasing and surprising in equal measure to come across a home that is unique and like nothing else you have marketed before. This outstanding property in the centre of Malpas is a perfect example of such.

The property is being sold as a whole but is actually split into two different areas - commercial and residential.

The residential part is at the back, accessed through wrought iron gates which secure its own parking area. The first thing to note is the garden - a gorgeous area which is generous in size, enjoys excellent levels of privacy and is ideal for young children to safely play. In addition to the large area of lawn, there is also a raised area that is set up to maximise the views and be the base for al fresco dining.

The house itself offers excellent space - far bigger than you might initially anticipate. Many of the rooms are versatile but as presently configured there are four bedrooms, three bathrooms and four reception rooms. The heart of living space is the large open plan breakfast kitchen and the house has a warm and lovely character - ideal for family life.

To the front is an impressive shop / office which provides a monthly investment income and there are also additional store rooms and space beyond. Full details of the lease are available by request from the selling agent.

Malpas is increasingly being recognised as a highly convenient location with access to railway stations, airports and key roads all within comfortable reach. This combines with a traditional and appealing village feel and much investment in local amenities including a newly opened gastro pub / restaurant known as 'The Lion' and a recently opened new build co-op convenience store.

For a personal description of the property or to arrange a viewing, please contact myself or a member of the team at the Tarporley office.
