Flat for sale in Church Street, Chiswick Mall W4

A rare opportunity to purchase this original 18th Century property on the corner of Church Street, Chiswick Mall, W4, which has fallen on hard times over the years, waiting for someone with the vision to resurrect it. The building is of a notable quality and was built in the eighteenth century, becoming a vital part of the village. It was home to the famous French philosopher Jean-Jacques Rousseau for a while in 1766. In the Victorian era 6 Church Street was converted into a shop and was used as a greengrocer run by the Spencer family, a baker and a hairdressers before becoming a Post Office in 1942. The double fronted shop windows which remain facing Church Street are thought to have been installed during the nineteenth century. The property has a potential dual use, to retain as commercial, office, shop or studio or to create a flat, as it also comes with planning permission to convert to a one bedroom apartment with reception, bathroom and roof terrace. Included in the sale (in original boxes) is a £6,000.00 Howdens Kitchen. The property also owns the Freehold of the entire building (6 Church Street) with the entrance to the maisonette above and the cellar below on the left hand side (please contact the agent for further details). Grade 2 Listed but with all permissions granted, this property gives a new owner the opportunity to live or work or both in this charming riverside road leading down to Chiswick Mall and the River Thames.
