Description

Former grocery store with dwelling house on one acre in much sought after location near Ahakista harbour and Air India Memorial Garden. Since this shop closed a few years ago, there is no grocery store in Ahakista.

Former Shop:
The former shop is located on a 0.15 acre triangular site (approx. 60m x 16m) with good road frontage across the road from the main house. It has electricity but no water or toilet facilities. It would make an ideal studio or workshop or could be re-opened as a retail outlet and it should be noted that there is currently no grocery shop in Ahakista - however, the building would have to be seriously upgraded. It could also be converted to ancillary living accommodation if the necessary planning permission and change of use were obtained.

There is a detached garage, which is currently used for storage as well as 3 other outbuildings (all used for storage) and an attached loft. If these buildings were to be used for any purpose other than storage, they would need to be renovated and modernised and, of course, the necessary planning permission would have to be obtained for change of use.
There is ample on site parking.
