High Street, Sparkford, Yeovil, BA22

Originally a residential cottage, this property was extensively refurbished to a high standard in the 1980s and was used as offices until recently. The unique internal configuration of this building currently offers double height pitched ceilings with a large gallery and further ancillary rooms at ground and first floor. The extensive open nature of the internal space provides a blank canvas to offer a number of conversion options. The owner has put together a number of plans, from a more traditional 3 bed 2 bath layout to a more contemporary open plan configuration. There is also potential for a side extension at the rear, subject to obtaining the necessary consents.

From the outside, this attractive cottage is set back from the road and has consent for a new access directly from the High Street to provide a private driveway and parking for three cars with gardens to both front and rear. The property is available to be purchased with the benefit of change of use, to a cash purchaser with no related sale.
