VACANT RETAIL AND RESIDENTIAL OPPORTUNITY IN PRESTIGIOUS COTSWOLD TOWN. PROMINENT PROPERTY IN CENTRAL POSITION ON THE HIGH STREET.
LOCATION
BURFORD is an iconic Cotswold town with its world famous High Street running down the hill to the bridge over the River Windrush. It consists mainly of period properties with many 17th & 18th century frontages providing a wide range of individual retail outlets, restaurants and hotels serving a well developed tourist trade as well as a high end local market. The town is ideally situated with road links to Oxford (about 20 miles) Banbury (M40 J11 about 24 miles) Cheltenham, Stow-on-the-Wold, Swindon and Cirencester. Mainline railway stations at Charlbury and Kingham (both about 9 miles) also provide mainline rail connections to Oxford and London (Paddington)
DESCRIPTION
92 High Street is a carefully maintained, rarely available, character property occupying a prime retail position in the heart of the renowned Cotswold town of Burford. The property offers the perfect opportunity for an owner occupier to combine both a residential and retail space under one roof.
PROPERTY
In its current format, the property boasts an attractive and prominent multi-paned window frontage with approximately 269 sq ft of retail space on the ground floor (with additional storage in the basement for the retail area). Above, and accessed via, the shop is a good sized one bedroom apartment set over the first and second floors of the building, benefiting from views across Burford High Street. The back of the retail area leads through a sizable, enclosed courtyard onto a converted stone building/studio, complete with a bedroom area situated on a mezzanine level above a cosy living and kitchen area, with wood burning stove and shower room. It is worth noting that the property has just one access, which is shared by the shop, the apartment and the courtyard studio meaning it would be ideally suited to an owner occupier who could capitalise on the property's town centre location, with the benefit of living accommodation or alternatively investors with the potential of creating a mixed use property, subject to current regulatory compliance.
