DESCRIPTION
The Property
The Butchers Shop offers a fantastic opportunity to acquire a substantial six bedroom family home, with the additional benefit of commercial space of which has been the popular family butchers for many years. The accommodation is currently split with living quarters separate from the shop itself, but could be incorporated into the house subject to listed building consent. Originally dating back to circa 17th century, the house has been extended to provide further commercial space and living accommodation. The original house is constructed of an internal timber frame, with a front red brick Victorian facade added many years later. As one would expect, the house has many period features including exposed beams and stud work, fireplaces, wooden floorboards, pamment tiles and sash windows. On entering, you are welcomed into the largest reception room which leads through into the kitchen and dining room. The kitchen has been refitted with a quality wooden shaker style kitchen which is well equipped. The kitchen has a built in ceramic sink/draining unit and space for a rangemaster cooker. Adjacent to the kitchen is a useful utility/pantry. Located at the back of the house is an office, sun room and a downstairs cloakroom. bedrooms are located on the first and second floors with five out of the six rooms being good sized double rooms. Also on the second floor is a large attic store room and a landing room. The family bathroom is located on the first floor with a modern four piece white suite. The commercial space could be potentially used for a number of different purposes from a shop, to a café or alternatively living accommodation, subject to planning consents. Please note: The Butchers shop is currently closed.
Outside
Externally, the property has a number of outbuildings/stores which would make ideal workshops or office space. The rest of the rear garden is laid to brickweave and is fully enclosed by a pretty part flint wall. The rear garden provides ample parking for several cars and currently houses a large timber summerhouse/outbuilding. Double five bar gates separate the garden from the driveway, which leads out onto Marsh Lane.
