Description

INFORMATION FROM THE AGENT:
Dating from the early 19th century and situated in the centre of Cleobury Mortimer with lengthy gardens to the rear, this outwardly attractive Grade II listed property offers a surprising amount of interior space with fabulous potential to create a 5 bedroom family home circa 2390 sq ft.

The original use of the property until the 1980s was as a general stores with two-storey owners' flat above, and this existing planning classification means that the property could equally be of interest to investors with potential to let both the retail shop premises and the flat, subject to meeting the necessary EPC requirements.

Shropshire Council Planning Dept advise that a change of use consent plus listed building consent would be needed to convert the building to a single dwelling, but have given an informal view that given the length of time since the property was last used for retail purposes, a change to residential status would be unlikely to present any particular difficulty.

The existing ground floor comprises a very large room (26' x 17') which was previously the shop front, with a 31' long rear extension (former storage of goods area) having potential to convert to a large kitchen/ diner/ family room with access to the garden. There is also a 26' long entrance hallway plus rear lobby, further room with perspex roof, wc & cellar with two chambers.

The first floor comprises a large central landing plus kitchen, living room, dining room and wc, whilst the second floor provides three double bedrooms plus bathroom including bath and shower cubicle.

Outside, the rear gardens extend some way from the property, with a brick-paved patio area to the rear of the building, giving way to long gardens which will need some tidying.

Tenure is freehold, with council tax payable to Shropshire Council rated as Band D.

Mains electricity, water & drainage are connected. The flat has electric storage heating.

Mobile Coverage: 4G coverage is available in the area - please check with your provider.
Broadband Availability: Superfast broadband is available in the area.
