House For Sale £1,200,000
An exceptionally versatile home and business opportunity within an historic Grade 2 listed premises of immense period character in the picturesque downland village of Alfriston.
The extensive ground floor commercial space and the impressive owners’ accommodation have been substantially improved in recent years to provide an unusually attractive and rare opportunity for the establishment of a thriving and profitable business within the heart of the South Downs National Park. For a number of years the current owners ran a successful business combining a coffee shop and tea garden with a fashion retail shop. However, they have scaled the business down in preparation for retirement and are now trading solely as a gift shop. Only an inspection will convey the vast potential and wonderful charm of this delightful property.<br /><br />The Apiary occupies a prominent street-front position at the centre of the historic and picturesque downland village of Alfriston, which attracts a high volume of tourism throughout the year. The ancient Star Inn, opposite, has recently undergone an extensive refurbishment by the renowned Polizzi hoteliers, further enhancing the local environment. Alfriston is nestled within the Cuckmere Valley which is arguably the most scenic section of the South Downs National Park, with breath-taking coastline at Cuckmere Haven only about 4 miles distant. There are easily accessible mainline rail services from the local station at Berwick and extensive shopping facilities in Eastbourne and Lewes which are both approximately 10 miles distant. There is world class opera at Glyndebourne and channel ferries sail from Newhaven.
