Notes
The shop was recently let to a third party and is not being sold as a going-concern. There are, therefore, no trading figures available.

Usage Class A1
The shop is currently designated as usage class A1 (shops, hair-dressers, travel and ticket agencies, pet shops, sandwich bars, dry cleaners, internet cafes and so on.) We believe the use class could be changed to other retail or business uses. We advise potential buyers to seek guidance from the Planning Department of the Exmoor National Park Authority before committing to a purchase.

NEW: Planning Permission
Planning Permission has now been granted to reduce the shop area and increase the living accommodation to include a living room and kitchen on the ground floor. This new permission gives the option to create an extra bedroom on the first floor, while retaining a retail space on the ground floor.
