LOCATION
Situated approximately a mile from Dulverton town centre, this location offers views over the main road, the picturesque Barle River, and the surrounding woodland and farmland within this sheltered river valley.
Dulverton is a lively community of independent retailers, catering to both local residents and tourists who visit this charming town on the banks of the River Barle. Known as the Southern Gateway to Exmoor National Park, it attracts nature enthusiasts and hikers throughout the year. Additionally, it serves as the headquarters for Exmoor National Park and boasts an attractive Town Hall.
THE PROPERTY
Originally constructed as a car workshop, the property was transformed in the 1970s into a spacious open-plan apartment on the first floor. During the 1980s, the ground floor served as a garden machinery showroom.
The current owner, who has owned the property since 1983, is now offering it for a genuine retirement sale. Most recently, the property functioned as a bakery, which has since closed. Presently, part of the ground floor is utilised as a private workshop, approximately 580 sq ft in size, while the former bakery and store area provide an additional 750 sq ft. The ground floor also includes a boiler room and a staff cloakroom, making it suitable for various commercial or office uses, subject to planning approval.
The first floor features a large open-plan apartment with a kitchen, lounge, dining area, bathroom/WC, and two bedrooms. The lounge and dining area open onto a covered veranda with views of the clear waters of the River Barle. The property offers one parking space at the front and two back-to-back spaces on the side. The apartment is equipped with oil-fired radiator central heating and a calor gas fire with a brick surround.
There is also eaves storage throughout the first floor.
This unique and intriguing property presents an excellent lifestyle business opportunity and deserves your immediate attention.
