DESCRIPTION & FUTURE USE

At present the property is used solely as an investment property with two separate income streams, residential and commercial. The residential unit has been rented out for the past 15 years with no rent increases and the commercial unit remains rented out to a dry-cleaning company. Specific details can be made available on request, but there is circa £20,000 per annum being generated currently with scope to further improve this global figure and/or take occupation within the residential unit and use the commercial unit as an a separate income stream.

Additionally, there was previously approved planning permission (2006) for the ground floor of the residential unit to be converted into a separate commercial unit and a two-storey rear extension to extend the residential unit, which, subject to re-submission & approval, which would potentially allow for a further increase to the income streams and improvement of the residential floor area. On the other hand, there is the potential to integrate the current commercial unit into the residential unit, to make one standalone dwelling with garaging & large private garden, in the heart of the village – subject to planning.

OUTSIDE

In addition the property itself there is a large garden to the rear. Immediately, off the property is a ground level patio with steep embankment, against which a set of timber stairs lead to a raised balcony which is also accessed off the master bedroom. From the balcony steps lead again to a patio area, beyond which is a large, private, south-west facing lawned garden which is flanked by shrub borders.
