TOWN CENTRE BUILDING WITH PLANNING FOR CONVERSION TO FORM FOUR OR FIVE FLATS

7 School Green Road, Freshwater, Isle of Wight, PO40 9AJ
Sold £166,000

This substantial town centre building has previously been in use as a post office, with sorting office and associated offices above and to the rear. At present the building is arranged as a ground floor retail unit with significant storage space to the rear (former sorting office); a two-bedroom flat on the first floor and a large roof space/store on the second floor.

Planning Consent has been obtained for conversion of the majority of the building to form four self-contained residential units. A further consent has been granted under Permitted Development for conversion of the existing shop into a further flat, to enable the shop to be converted into an additional residential unit to allow the entire property to be converted into five residential flats, if required.

Freshwater is the major town at the western end of the Isle of Wight and is situated a short distance from the Yarmouth to Lymington car ferry crossing.
