I can't quite figure this one out. It's on Sandgate High Street and it's a little shop at the moment. So is that garage door part of the property? When you see the interior shots of this is it all one open space including the bit that the garage door would open into? If that could be one tiny studio and the garage that would be good. I could park the beetle there. Bit too close the Inn Doors though. Anyway it's on rightmove, £70-£80k.
117E comprises a street level shop with cloakroom facility and a basement storeroom; with the right hand side being a former a boathouse/garage. We we have been advised by the owner that double doors are still in place behind the shiplap panelling with a dropped kerb. Internally the property is currently one room, however the space could be divided so the former boathouse could be used as a separate storeroom if required. There is also potential to be converted to a small 'bolt hole' residence subject to the relevant planning permissions being obtained.
I don't think they're very keen to grant change of uses to places along there.
I see also a house like hours that our friends used to live in at what seems like a crazy price. That street is a bit noisier than ours and being lower down they don't have such a view. They still have the garage rather than the fourth bedroom - not sure if that's better or worse - and they do have a nice looking conservatory. As Clare says it is in better condition than hours. Still, that's a lot of wonga. It's not as much as this one up the road that my friends must be selling. They built that on a bit of land salvaged from a neighbour's garden eight years ago. I haven't seem them recently, wonder why they're selling.
