Description
An historic Grade II Listed mid-terrace property, thought to originally date from 1739, retaining evidence of its original Roman chalk cellar. It has been recently renovated to a very high standard and completely rewired throughout, while retaining period features such as exposed beams and wooden flooring. It comprises an open plan retail space on the ground floor leading to a further room at the rear, fully fitted kitchen, brand new WC/cloakroom and access to a private, enclosed courtyard. Stairs lead down to a basement level that could be used for storage, and there are also two upper floors which could serve as offices or retail space.
The property is located on West Street (B3047), the main thoroughfare through the affluent and quintessential Georgian market town of Alresford, in Hampshire. It lies 7.5 miles north-east of the Cathedral City of Winchester and 9.5 miles south-west of Chawton, where Jane Austen's House is found. The Watercress Line railway station is a short walk from the unit, and attracts tourists year-round.
Alresford was recently voted one of the top-15 market towns in the UK, and plays host to a weekly market each Thursday with an array of produce for sale, while the town itself offers a wonderful blend of boutique retailers, coffee shops, bakeries and restaurants, most of which are housed in beautiful period buildings.
