Brook Lodge, Threshers, Crediton, EX17 3JJ

In the early 1990s work commenced on a new doctors’ surgery and pharmacy in Threshers, Crediton. A stunning contemporary design that won a number of prestigious awards.  The modern buildings were designed to compliment their surroundings, the main section of the pharmacy disappearing into the landscape with the unique turret creating a light filled interior.  Some 30 years later, with the expansion of the town and larger premises needed, the surgery and pharmacy were relocated to a new larger site.  The pharmacy, a detached property set into the hillside with a living roof and stunning circular turret has gained permissions to convert to a detached dwelling. Comprising of 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, plus an open plan kitchen/dining/living room opening onto the gardens to the south side, its unique design is sure to attract a range of buyers from occupiers to developers.  It’s in a wonderful Western town location with the bus stop nearby and the parking, front garden and dwelling all on the level (the bank behind has the benefit of a number of beautiful mature established trees and offers a wonderful natural feeling to the site).  This is an amazing opportunity to create your unique mini grand design in a great location that will appeal to many.  The suggested layout could be altered to suit (stp) and it may be possible to extend but planning permission would need to be sought.  Offers are invited for the freehold purchase of the site with vacant possession.

Agents notes: There have been internal preparations made to the property in anticipation of the residential conversion, this includes removal of the commercial/shop racking and taking down of stud walls opening up the space, since the photos were taken.
