Property description

A Grade II listed former public house which has planning for conversion into a four bedroom house.

The property is in a conservation area, the building has approximately 2,916 sq. ft. of accommodation and covered areas. It is currently still laid out as it was when it was used as a public house. The building dates back to the 17th century and has been a public house and an inn for hundreds of years. The Radcliffes of Hitchin Priory were Lords of the Manor and held their Courts Baron throughout the nineteenth century and well into the twentieth century at the Bull Inn in Gosmore. The property has full planning permission and listed building consent for change of use from the public house to a residential home comprising a four-bed dwelling and associated landscaping and erection of carport/storage. Copies of the plans are available on request. As it is presently a commercial building it will not be suitable for a residential mortgage.
