The overall site consists of two Titles, one of which is for commercial use and the other for residential use - although is being used part commercially. Their respective and combined site areas are as follows (approx):
- Commercial Site Area = 103,330 sqft | 9,599 m2 | 2.37 acres | 0.95 hectares
- Residential Site Area = 49,017 sqft | 4,554 m2 | 1.13 acres | 0.45 hectares
- Total Site Area = 152,347 sqft | 14,153.51 m2 | 3.50 acres | 1.40 hectares
The commercial aspect of the land currently has planning consent for 'Christmas tree sales' - although pursuant to our discussions with a local planning advisor, it is felt more conventional commercial uses could be obtained STPP.
Erected upon the commercial part of the land is an agricultural unit measuring approximately 6,000 sqft (557.42 m2). Upon the residential part of the land is a dwelling complete with garden and parking.
The premises are currently occupied but will be available upon a freehold basis with vacant possession. Our client's preference is to sell the site in its entirety, but may consider a disposal of the commercial and residential parts separately.
- Commercial = £1,600,000
- Residential = £1,000,000
- Entire Site = £2,600,000
