A rare opportunity to reimagine this impressive Victorian landmark: the former Eastwoods Butchers. This handsome building sits along Gravel Path in a prime position within the town’s Conservation Area, offering a compelling canvas for sensitive redevelopment and contemporary reinterpretation.
Planning permission was granted in December 2025 for the change of use of the ground floor from Class E (commercial), alongside the conversion of the existing first-floor flat, enabling the creation of two three-storey, three-bedroom houses (Planning Ref: 24/02923/FUL). While that consent allows for two dwellings, it also presents clear potential to adapt the scheme and form a single, substantial period home, shaped to an individual vision.
The building currently unfolds across two principal floors, together with a generous cellar below. To the rear, an enclosed garden provides private outdoor space. The approved plans incorporate the loft void, introducing a third storey of accommodation and unlocking the full verticality of the structure.
Just a few yards from the canal and within easy walking distance of the railway station, High Street and local schools, the property balances architectural presence, an enviable location and everyday connectivity.
Opportunities to shape a home like this are rare. This is more than a house to renovate - it is a chance to take stewardship of a familiar landmark, creating a home that endures while leaving a quiet, lasting mark on the character of the street.
