According to the listing, full planning permission has been secured for a mixed-use redevelopment, including the retention and continued use of the ground floor of Tom Browns as a public house, which is currently under management, conversion of the vacant Autobitz retail shop into a commercial unit, and the creation of four new residential flats above.
To the rear, consent has been granted to build five new dwellings (three houses and two flats), alongside associated access improvements and landscaped communal areas.
The sale is via modern method of auction and is subject to an undisclosed reserve price.
Tom Browns features a bar area, a skittle alley/function room, a fully equipped commercial kitchen, and a lower ground floor beer cellar, says the listing.
Above the pub, the first floor flat has three bedrooms, a separate dining room and sitting room, along with a family bathroom.
The second floor flat has two bedrooms, a fitted kitchen, a separate lounge, a shower room, and a separate WC, suitable for owner-occupation or letting, the listing states.
