Description
There are multiple commercial uses for Holme Head House, which sits elegantly alongside the alongside the River Caldew. The iconic weir that powered the Mill, is opposite the house and fromer uses have included being run as a popular bar and restaurant (locals may remember 'The Bay') With an equipped kitchen in place and plenty of outdoor space for a beer garden and car parking, this could be an ideal purchase for the leisure industry.
The current owners purchased the near derelict building in 2012 and have restored and improved the property and grounds to a high standard. This Grade II listed property is now being offered for sale as either a commercial property suited to the restaurant and leisure industry (there is a fully equipped commercial kitchen in the basement with a 5-star rating from the FSA) , or for conversion to residential accommodation as either a single signature home or perhaps to luxury flats (subject to planning permission).
The internal accommodation is open plan on the ground and first floor levels reflecting the building's recent commercial uses, but conversion back to residential is easily done with the reinstatement of internal walls and with the original covings from each of the former rooms still in in place.
Moving outside, the property sits impressively behind brick walls with iron railings and gates. A formal rose garden leads to the front door of the main building, whilst to the side there is ample parking space in front of the non-listed single story extension. In the wooded area you will find multiple raised vegetable beds. The property also comes with significant riverside land which could be an exceptional asset for commercial or private buyers.
