Property description

Occupying a wonderful position fronting onto the green within the beautiful, historic village of Clophill this incredibly rare opportunity has arisen to purchase a combination of the village store, which in itself is a vital cog in the day to day running of the local residents and indeed to the wider community, whilst also seamlessly blending together a residential property which could be utilised by the shop owners or potentially rented out as a separate entity. Having been functioning as a fully fledged, hugely successful business built and nurtured by the current owners over the last twelve years its standing within the community has seen the owners entwined into village life to such an extend that it provides social interaction as much as business practice, with life long friendships made and developed far beyond the shop operation. With a generous shop unit stocking and supplying everyday essentials in addition to numerous other lines it further benefits from various other lucrative elements included within the sale such as the post office counter as well as the cafe/takeaway. In terms of the residential property which provides its own private access to the side it offers spacious, bright and airy internal accommodation comprising of a kitchen, 20ft living room, as well as a separate dining hall, whilst to the first floor it benefits from a master bedroom with dressing area, two further bedrooms and a stylish family bathroom. Externally it has an ample block paved driveway for several vehicles, in addition to an attractive, deceptively secluded side garden laid principally to lawn with mature shrubs and bushes which also leads to an area ideal for extending the kitchen (which already has the brick baseline laid).

Please note that full and detailed financial information is readily available to all/any interested parties following a positive inspection of the property in its entirety.
