A CHARMING building offering huge scope, in the conservation village of Cranborne. A unique opportunity to acquire a superb freehold residence in the centre of the rural Dorset village of Cranborne, with varied business potential. Currently a successful restaurant with rooms, it would easily convert to a shop, gallery etc or bed and breakfast. The current owners are now of retirement age, and are happy to sell the property at the business valuation price, rather than the much higher residential valuation of £695,000 (see vendors documentation) The Victorian frontage gives elegant high ceilinged rooms whilst to the rear-the much earlier part of the property - lower ceilings and thicker walls add character, retain heat in Winter, yet stay cool in Summer.

Accommodation - Ground Floor, The main entrance to the property opens through a small porch, passing the main stair case to the first floor. RECEPTION LOUNGE/BAR (15'3 x 14'3) is to the right. Front aspect facing, with large sash windows. Following through the LOBBY with cloakrooms and door to rear garden, and SKULLERY is the cosy SITTING ROOM (15'9 x 15')with exposed brick and timber work. The wood burner here supplies the hot water to the radiators. Next is the KITCHEN/BREAKFAST ROOM (13' x 10'9)with a range of base level units, twin circular sinks, oven and hob with hood. Stairs to first floor. The adjoining CONSERVATORY (14' x 8'3) leads into the very pretty enclosed courtyard GARDEN on two levels. Through the main building entrance, to the left is the DINING ROOM (35' x 17') with feature fireplace. A well fitted commercial KITCHEN (20' x 13') follows, leading to the UTILITY (15'9 x 13'6) and STORE (14'3 x 14') all three open out to the garden.

UPPER FLOORS A total of 8 bedrooms as follows: 5 BEDROOMS, currently used as letting rooms, all with private facilities. A further 2 BEDROOMS sharing a family BATHROOM with panelled bath on raised tiled floor. SECOND FLOOR Open plan LOFT ROOM, bedroom and sitting room (21'3 x 19'9) plus ensuite shower room. Secondary glazing to the majority of the property. The scope and potential offered by this property is limited only by imagination. Currently run as a successful 46 cover licensed restaurant, with additional seating outside and letting bedrooms. The property, as the address of 8/9 The Square implies, would easily split into two. The building is not listed and carries covenants, firstly, that some sort of business is operated. Secondly, any alterations on one side of the property have to be agreed by the Estate. These have never been a problem and full co-operation from the Estate has been enjoyed over the past 20 years.
