About this property

Detailed Description

The property comprises two adjacent and interconnecting Grade II Listed former dwelling houses which have been converted to offices, with part of the ground floor of Melton House used as a shop/showroom/store for an interior design business.

The two-storey accommodation is of red brick construction under tiled roofs, with an attractive enclosed garden to the rear incorporating an external boiler house and separate refurbished store/studio.

Internally the accommodation retains much of its original character with various individual office rooms and ancillary kitchen and WC facilities. The property has a modern oil-fired central heating system and is well maintained.

Planning Permission
Full planning permission and listed building consent have now been granted for the conversion of the existing office accommodation within Carlton and Melton Houses into three residential units, while retaining the established retail use within part of the ground floor of Melton House.

The approved scheme provides for a two bedroom house, a two bedroom apartment and a one bedroom apartment, along with the conversion and modest extension of the rear storage building to create a small bungalow. A section at the front of the property, including the shop frontage, is to be retained for commercial use (Use Class E).
