A great opportunity to acquire this former commercial property that has recently been granted planning permission to change back into a residential property if desired.

Change of use has been obtained under the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 to Class C3 Dwelling House. REF: DM/21/1066.

This former hair and beauty salon could still be considered for commercial use if needed and the new planning consent granted late May 2021 expires in 3 years.

EPC: C (51)

125m2 Approx. useful floor area.

New Cottage is a period high street house that was originally a residential home located in the high street of Handcross and opposite other traditional family homes.

The property has undergone a change of use serval times since the 1970s and has been very well maintained by the current owners but still retains many original external and internal features and in our opinion could offers flexible and versatile living accommodation.

Change of use has been obtained under the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 to Class C3 Dwelling House. REF: DM/21/1066.
