Property ✧ south and west facing in front of post office on the main square which hosts a busy weekly market, not big enough to function as a hub thus the location is slightly wasted however super nice to walk a few paces to get out and have a coffee/bite
✦ road in front will be pedestrianised relaid in brick, and the car park behind the next building will be converted to a garden square
✦ bloody ugly, but opportunity to get streetartists to make a statement mural (probably tastefully botanical to not clash with the renewal works)
✦ only the lower 3 floors not the upper 2 which are apartments with a seperate side entrance
✦ would need full fitout as only offices
✦ back (north) has some windows, 1st and 2nd floor side/back windows are significantly raised but fine for bedrooms
✦ floor to cieling windows on 2 sides of 1st floor
✦ due to being ground level, an indoor garden would be tricky, however would be possible on teh 1st floor as a sunroom
✦ possibly a 2nd floor 10m2 terrace, could with suitable persuasion of the other owners be extended over the single open parking/utility space below for 30m2
✦ 13x6.5m, could be tricky to create rooms, possibly 6 on the 2nd floor, pods on the 1st with a lounge/sunroom having plants, and the ground as kitchen/dining/workspaces
✦ would probably need wooden slats in front of the mirrored glass on the south facade
✦ circa 110m2 exclusive of each floor ex the side stairs
✦ ground floor has some impressive original walls around which the new building was constructed
