Land For Sale £500,000
Greystones is being sold as Lot 4 of the former Shapwick School. The land included in Lot 4 is highlighted in yellow on the plan.
Greystones has been used as a boarding house and with planning permission could make for between one and four units depending on consents given and a purchaser’s view on the best option for the local market. Three units seems to be the most viable and sensible option but buyers must do their own research. There is parking to the side for numerous cars and a garden to the rear.
