Situation
This handsome Grade II listed building enjoys a pleasant setting within the heart of the popular market town of Cranbrook, with its wide range of amenities including schools, nurseries, independent shops, cafés, restaurants, medical facilities, leisure centre, parks, wine bar and a public house.
The area offers easy access to a wealth of local attractions such as Cranbrook Museum, the landmark Union Windmill, nearby vineyards, castles and Bedgebury Pinetum, all set within and around areas of outstanding natural beauty. Excellent road links via the A21 and A229 provide access to the M25, Gatwick and Heathrow airports, and the M20 to Dover and Ashford International. Staplehurst mainline station, approximately 6 miles away, offers frequent services to London and Ashford International, with journey times of around one hour to London.
Description
This property is set over 4 floors and comprises of a mix of 2 commercial units (1 in need of repair and modernisation) and 2 residential units:-
A lower ground floor self-contained studio apartment.
This shares an entrance hall/lobby at the rear of the property with the apartment that is set on the 1st and 2nd floors, there is a door directly into the studio, and a door onto the stairs leading up to the apartment.
The ground floor houses the commercial unit with the shop frontage opening onto Stone Street.
The 1st and 2nd floors are occupied by the 2nd residential unit which is a self-contained duplex apartment.
To the rear/side there is an attached store room with a toilet, previously used as a small barbers/commercial space but this does require modernisation.
The front of the building has an attractive weatherboarded façade, recently painted in white with sage green accents around the shop. It is an end of terrace, with sash windows, substantial chimneys and a lane to the side allowing access to the rear courtyard and onto neighbouring properties.
The commercial unit enjoys a prominent street-frontage with an attractive good sized display window and direct access from the pavement. Inside, there are 2 principal areas within the 'open plan' shop which are carpeted, and have exposed timbers and beams. In the front room there is a fitted counter. The rear room features a large inglenook fireplace, attractive sash window to rear, together with a storage cupboard and WC facilities. The shop is considered to have a range of potential uses due to its size, location and its charming character.
