Description - Halls are delighted with instruction to offer 31 Cross Street in Ellesmere for sale by private treaty.

31 Cross Street is a substantial three-storey mixed-use residential/commercial town centre property which provides around 3,300 sq ft of characterful and flexibly arranged accommodation with excellent scope for a variety of onward usages. The property has, over the years, operated under a number of guises, including as a public house, with, most recently, the ground floor and basement serving as a popular restaurant, with living accommodation above.

In 2020, planning permission was granted for the conversion of a range of outbuildings to the rear of the building to become four independent holiday lets, these having been elegantly constructed soon after to now serve as a lucrative short-term rental portfolio.

The property and the accompanying holiday lets stand within a generous level of external space, this extending, in all, to around 0.17ac, with vehicular access provided directly from Cross Street onto an enclosed rear courtyard, this incorporating space for external dining and leading on to the holiday lets.
