Description

A detached former animal welfare/rescue facility extending to approximately 1,786 sq ft (166 sq m), occupying a substantial site of approximately 1 acre, with extensive parking, hardstanding and external areas. The property offers an interesting potential development opportunity, subject to the necessary planning consents.

The property comprises a detached, low-rise building arranged over ground and first floors, providing a versatile range of accommodation. The ground floor includes a number of generously proportioned rooms, kitchen, three WCs and hallway facilities, whilst the first floor provides further accommodation together with a shower room and landing.

The property benefits from gas-fired central heating, double-glazed windows, a door release system, intercom and ample power points.

Externally, the property benefits from a substantial gravelled forecourt providing extensive parking and vehicle access, together with significant areas of hardstanding and surrounding land. The site also previously incorporated a range of commercial and stable outbuildings, comprising in excess of 80 individual buildings, which have recently been removed from the site but could potentially be reintroduced, subject to the necessary planning consents.

The extent of the external areas and former outbuilding provision provides considerable flexibility for continued commercial, operational or alternative use and may also offer potential for redevelopment, subject to planning and all necessary consents.

The existing accommodation is well suited to a range of uses, including veterinary-related, office, storage, leisure and other commercial or community uses, subject to the relevant planning requirements.
