South Elevation (existing)
Immense land-mark property with bags of potential for sale
A large property over four floors (two above ground at the front and all above ground at the rear), originally built as the Railway Hotel. Stone with slate roof. There are 20 main rooms including stable and a commercial room with double doors onto the street that could be used for a variety of businesses. The 4 largest rooms could be converted into 3 decent sized rooms each giving 28 main rooms. The property is situated in a splendid picturesque rural location, and benefits from a railway station.
Previous planning permission for conversion into 3 large houses. The council wishes to encourage the property to be developed and have agreed to waive the requirements of the affordable housing scheme, allowing up to 11 sizeable apartments (10 x 1-bedroom and 1 x 2-bedroom) to be created (with separate entrances for 6 flats). There is scope for the property to be used as business premises, eg B&B, Hotel, Walker's Bunk House, Offices, or Live-Work space for self employed business person subject to relevant permissions.
The Roundhouse is located at the heart of walking country, and literally a stone's throw from the railway station. The property is situated in a rural area of outstanding natural beauty (ANOB) frequented by tourists and walkers, it is on the edge of a market town providing all the normal amenities. The quiet railway branch line links the property with outstanding scenery and the county town.
The existing owner is selling the Roundhouse at below its real value to achieve a quick sale (no chains please). Because of the potential to convert the property to a new use, this unique property would suit a cash purchaser or developer with vision. The property is not listed and is not in a conservation area.
The Round section of the property is also for sale separately, ideally suited as commercial premises.
