Former Post Office & Café with Pretty Owner's Cottage & 2 Further Boutique Letting Rooms. Prime Village Location & Exceptional Property in Sought-After Area.
Nestled in the heart of Kennford Village, the property enjoys a superb setting just a short drive south of Exeter. The property's strategic position offers immediate access to the A38 and M5, placing it within easy reach of major towns and cities. For those seeking Devon's famed natural beauty, the unspoilt expansive Dartmoor National Park is a short journey to the west, providing countless opportunities for walking, cycling and wildlife activities with breathtaking moorland scenery.
To the south, the glorious South Devon coastline is a short journey away with its sandy beaches, dramatic cliffs and bustling seaside towns, such as Dawlish, Teignmouth, Torquay and Torbay. In proximity to both Dartmoor and the coast makes Kennford a popular choice for those seeking balance of convenience and rural tranquillity, whilst also appealing to the strong year round tourist trade.
An attractive and substantial terrace property, previously trading as a Post Office with ancillary guest accommodation and country cottage home. The property offers a versatile range of space suited to a range of potential business and residential opportunities, subject to the necessary planning consent. The property is currently closed, providing a blank canvas ready for new owners to shape as they wish. The property has been successfully operated for nearly 30 years by the presented owners, who unfortunately have had to retire due to ill health/personal circumstances.
At the ground floor level there is a spacious retail area, being a former Post Office with Café to the side. The layout lends itself equally well to a variety of alternative commercial uses, from a local shop, deli or café through to specialist retail ventures. To the rear of the property and over part is a charming two bedroom cottage, providing comfortable owner's/managers accommodation with potential to incorporate further letting or residential uses. To the side of the cottage are two beautifully appointed, boutique en-suite letting rooms, previously operating on an Airbnb basis with impressive revenue. To the rear of the property is an attractive, sheltered courtyard.
With its unique blend of accommodation, retail/catering areas and outside space, this property offers enormous flexibility which should appeal to a range of buyers, from home and income seekers to those looking for wider commercial uses. Alternatively, there is the possibility of converting the property to full residential use, subject to the necessary planning permissions.
