"I really relish the opportunity of selling properties like this. With so much potential, it is great to then see what a purchaser does with it". - Philip Jarvis, Director.

A Grade II listed commercial/residential property in the centre of Lenham.

Arranged over four floors, currently there is a large ground floor retail space made up of two areas plus a large basement area. A further ground floor room along with the first and second floor were previously used as office space but full planning permission has now been obtained to convert this area to residential use. Currently though the property has an A1 retail use on the ground floor and basement and a B1 usage for one office on the ground and offices on the upper floors.

The retail area is in good condition but the office space does require both modernisation and improvement. The office space could be accessed from the retail area but does have a separate entrance to one side of the building. There is one room to the ground floor plus three rooms, kitchen area and cloakroom to the first floor and finally three attic rooms on the second floor.

There is also a courtyard area to the rear to include a large storeroom which was formerly a scullery, an outside WC for the retail area and two other storage areas.

Centrally located, just off Lenham Square, the property is ideally positioned for the bustling village. Lenham is a growing village with a wide range of amenities to include a well balanced mix of shops, cafes and a railway station. The M20 motorway is approximately five miles away at Leeds.

An internal viewing comes highly recommended to fully appreciate the full potential of this property. Either as an investment, or someone looking to make this property their home with a potential business twist.
