Former watermill with development potential – ID 2202191

This charming former watermill is situated in a peaceful area of ??this vibrant market town. It offers a wealth of history and character, as well as ample living space and significant development potential. Formerly separate houses, the property retains two staircases, allowing for flexible use as a large family home, the creation of several independent apartments, or conversion into a boutique hotel. On the ground floor, the property comprises an entrance hall, a living room, a spacious and well-equipped kitchen, and a large character room with a bar and views of the water below. There are also two attractive bedrooms, a shower room, and a separate WC. All rooms on this level have double glazing and are heated by a heat pump. On the first floor, part of the house includes three rooms, one of which is currently used as a bedroom, and an adjoining suite of rooms that could be converted into a self-contained apartment with a kitchen, living room, shower room, and WC. The second part of this floor could also be converted into a separate apartment and currently comprises five distinct rooms. All the rooms on this level have double glazing, except for three windows. The second floor comprises two sections. One is already converted into a four-room apartment with mains gas heating and a separate meter, offering strong rental potential. The other section has been insulated and is ready for future conversion. Outside, several outbuildings and storage spaces complete the property, along with a charming garden that extends along the canal fork, providing a bucolic setting and recalling the mill's origins. This is a rare opportunity to acquire a property full of character and versatility, offering both immediate comfort and potential for further development.
