50/52 King Street, ASPATRIA, Cumbria

The building is arranged over three levels. The former post office and gift shop areas at ground floor benefit from their own wc and kitchen area to the rear and can be occupied as a whole or in two parts. Future uses lend these areas to salon space, offices, retail shop, café - or even conversion to residential subject to planning and building modification.

Access to the upper floor residential accommodation is via an integral staircase. This area is currently lived in by the owners and provides a spacious three bedroom flat with large open plan living room, fully equipped bathroom and well equipped kitchen offering picturesque views towards the northern Lake District fells. The residential areas could be converted to provide Air BnB accommodation.

Since the owners bought the building, they have re-roofed the property and re-wired the electrics throughout.
