Grundisburgh cottage with flat and shop space is for sale

Offered for sale as one, the property comprises Ivanhoe, a charming, three-bedroom cottage, and The Old Post Office, which is divided into a commercial space and a two-bed flat. 

It also includes several outbuildings and an outdoor pool.

The whole lot is listed for sale for £825,000 with estate agents Clarke & Simpson, which describe it as a “wonderful opportunity” in a highly desirable village.

The commercial space currently trades as The Grundisburgh Dog Deli and offers around 60 sq ft of retailing, seating and serving space, as well as a cloakroom.

The flat is currently let on an assured shorthold tenancy and offers an entrance lobby, kitchen/breakfast room, two bedrooms and a bathroom. One of the bedrooms enjoys particularly lovely views of the surrounding area, including along the village street, towards the church and the roofscape.

The flat and commercial premises are currently let on separate tenancies and generate around £1,350 a month. 

“This useful rental income can continue, although there is an opportunity for an incoming purchaser, when the two tenancy arrangements lapse, to utilise this accommodation for themselves for their own occupation and business,” explains a spokesperson for selling agents Clarke & Simpson.

The property offers a lovely range of character features, including exposed timbers on the ceiling and walls, and a brick-built fireplace with an inset woodburning stove.

At the rear of the property there is a ‘hidden’ garden, which extends to nearly three quarters of an acre and provides a lovely space for outdoor entertaining.

The front is accessed by a wrought iron gate, which is approached from the village street, and there is vehicular access to the side of the property which leads to the garage and outbuildings.

A spokesperson for Clarke & Simpson adds that the area containing the outbuildings and outdoor swimming pool is located within the boundary of the village and “there may be potential to develop a new independent dwelling, subject to the necessary consents.”
