possible as the small car park once allocated to the pub (but
only since 1979) now serves as private parking for 2 adjacent
houses.
Development Opportunity:-
Ideal conversion into 2 x 2 or 3 bedroom domestic dwellings:-
-
estimate of cost to convert into 2 houses £70,000
-
estimate of selling value of a 3 bedroom fully refurbished home
with a modern interior over 3 floors in current climate approx.
£135,000 each x 2 = £270,000
-
estimate of profit (pre-tax etc.) £270,000 - £70,000 = £200,000 less
purchase cost of building at £135,000 =
£65,000
-
outline plan of 2 dwellings on site
- computer generated images of
now and proposed
-
full planning permission will be required but we have a
letter from planning authority (following a site
meeting) stating that they will not object to such a conversion
so long as 3 main criteria are met:-
1.
the conversion must be sympathetic to the building and the area
- they specify such things as a similar door to existing should
be used in 2nd house
- the structure of the building indicates that the building was
built as 2 separate buildings
and since "knocked" into one.
2.
it must be shown that the business is no longer viable as a
public house
- local knowledge that since 2003 that there was a succession of
managers that all
struggled to make a viable business of the pub
- copy of
letter from the brewery
agents with figures showing a decline
in sales over several
years
3.
it must be demonstrated that there are alternative facilities in
the area
-

area
