Location - The historic market town of Bridgnorth on the River Severn is divided between High Town and Low Town. The two are connected by the funicular railway and two bridges. There are many interesting historic buildings and pleasant walkways including the Castle Walk and Gardens. Another notable attraction is the Severn Valley Railway with its historic steam trains. Within the town there are a range of facilities including a diverse selection of shops including antique, gift, grocery, butchers and bakers shops. There are larger supermarkets also on the edge of town. A selection of schools catering for all age groups together with a host of sports facilities and clubs are also within walking distance. St Mary's Street is just off the High Street and therefore in close proximity to the amenities.

Planning - The property has recently gained Listed planning consent (Grade II) to convert into two properties: 64 St Marys Street (retail shop with residential living accommodation) and a separate residential dwelling to the rear which is excluded from the sale. The division is being created with Building Control consent.

Overview And Accommodation - For 35 years Micawber Antiques was a centre for ceramic research and sales run by Mother and Son; Molly and Nicholas Berthoud. The well known ceramic specialist Michael Berthoud also operated from the property.

The shop has previously featured in the BBC Homes & Antiques Magazine and has also appeared on television, on the BBC Antiques Road Trip. The building is now looking to open its doors again for a new life as a retail shop with planning for residential use on the first and second floors. There is however an opportunity to gain planning for full residential use and create a three storey town house in this beautiful period building.

Having a front shop entrance with hallway and retail area, there are high ceilings and an original fireplace.

A separate access to the side, leads into the private spacious hall with the original oak staircase leading to the first and second floor landings, whilst beneath the stairs, access leads to the cellar. From the first floor landing access leads into the open plan living area featuring two large sash windows to the front and a fireplace within a marble surround. Stairs continue from the landing to the second floor, where there are two double bedrooms with sash windows, access to a box room and access to the loft.

Outside - There is no garden, but St Marys Street allows two parking permits per property. The side entrance is on the walkway that links the street with Listley Street car park.

Tenure - We are advised the property is Freehold. Verification should be obtained from your solicitor. Vacant possession upon completion.

Local Authority - Shropshire Council. The property presently awaits a new council tax listing and is currently benefiting from small business rates relief.

Services - We are advised new supplies will be required, but there is mains drainage, electricity and water connected to the adjoining property. Verification should be obtained from your surveyor.

Viewing Arrangements - Strictly by appointment only. Please contact our BRIDGNORTH OFFICE.
