Full Details for 4 Bedroom Commercial Property for sale in Ashby-De-La-Zouch, LE65 :
A UNIQUE BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY : COMMERCIAL / RETAIL. Currently a restaurant, this substantial Grade II listed period property boasts extensive spacious accommodation with around twenty rooms spread over three floors. Located near the centre of the bustling historical North West Leicestershire town of Ashby-de-la-Zouch, the building is believed to date back to the 1700s and would originally have been three cottages. In 1977 the property was granted Grade II status being of special architectural and historic interest. The present owners purchased the property in early 1982, and after extensive renovation, opened as a restaurant later that year with a first floor retail shop opening in 1994. This desirable property represents a fantastic business opportunity, or alternatively it could be converted into a spacious private dwelling offering versatile family accommodation - subject to the necessary consents.
THE LOCATION
The ancient, historic market town of Ashby (with its famous 15th century castle) almost certainly dates back to Roman times. Later, in the early 19th century, it became a spa town. Many of the Georgian-style buildings that you now see were built to accommodate visitors to the Baths. Today, Ashby de la Zouch is a thriving and bustling town within the National Forest and enjoys a wide range of good shops, schools, pubs, churches and local amenities. The nearby M42 motorway gives easy access to the M1, M5 and M6 and many other Midland towns and cities. The town is also convenient for the airports at Nottingham East Midlands and Birmingham.
