DESCRIPTION
Occupying a prominent position on the High Street, this characterful building presents a fantastic opportunity for developers, investors or buyers seeking a rewarding renovation project. The sale includes the freehold of the entire building, which is currently configured as two separate apartments but offers exciting potential to be retained as such or reconfigured into one impressive family home, subject to any necessary planning and building regulation approvals.
The ground floor apartment comprises an entrance hall, spacious sitting room, kitchen/dining room, two bedrooms, a bathroom and a separate WC. The first floor apartment benefits from its own entrance, sitting room, kitchen, two bedrooms, a bathroom and useful storage.
Requiring complete modernisation throughout, this is a genuine refurbishment project with enormous potential. Whether you're looking to restore the building, improve the existing apartments or explore alternative layouts, this is a rare chance to acquire a substantial freehold property in a sought-after village location.
OUTSIDE
To the rear, the property enjoys an enclosed garden, a useful outbuilding/store and the added benefit of off-road parking accessed from the rear, a valuable feature in this central village location.
