Description

A distinctive former nursery school offering an increasingly rare opportunity for a variety of residential or commercial uses, subject to the necessary planning permissions and consents. Set within a desirable village location, the property benefits from a private access road, ample parking to the front, substantial gardens and grounds to the rear, together with additional outbuildings. The existing building provides generous and versatile accommodation, including a substantial main room, kitchen, entrance hall, several smaller rooms and WC facilities. Its flexible layout offers excellent scope for reconfiguration, subdivision or adaptation to suit a wide range of requirements, making it an appealing prospect for both owner-occupiers and commercial purchasers.
In addition to its existing potential, the property benefits from approved change-of-use plans to create a substantial five-bedroom family home. The proposed accommodation combines the character of the original building with a contemporary layout, including an impressive open-plan living, kitchen and dining area, dedicated office, utility room, cloakroom and guest bedroom. A proposed rear extension enhances the available space, while the first floor provides five bedrooms, a family bathroom and en-suite facilities. The scheme also incorporates improved landscaping, enhanced insulation, an air-source heat pump and solar panels. Alternatively, the property's generous proportions, flexible internal arrangement, extensive outside space and additional buildings could lend themselves to a variety of commercial uses, such as offices, a gym or wellness facility, veterinary premises, childcare facilities or a business requiring secure outdoor space, such as kennels. A combination of residential and commercial uses may also be worth exploring, subject to the appropriate consents.
This represents an exciting opportunity to acquire a characterful and adaptable property with considerable potential, whether as a substantial individual family home, commercial premises or a combination of uses. With approved residential conversion plans already in place, generous existing accommodation, private access, ample parking and extensive grounds, the property offers a wealth of possibilities for purchasers seeking a versatile building in an attractive village setting. Prospective purchasers are advised to satisfy themselves regarding the planning status, permitted uses, approved proposals, accommodation, dimensions, services, specifications and any associated conditions, making their own enquiries with the relevant local authority and professional advisers before proceeding.
