This Grade II listed freehold combines a well-established retail business and popular post office with a substantial 3–4 bedroom family house in the centre of Banham. The site offers approximately 3,922 sq ft of internal floorspace plus about 1,127 sq ft of outbuildings and a generous rear courtyard suitable for parking, storage or private use. The post office is exempt from business rates and benefits from high local footfall, boosted by nearby Banham Zoo.
The residential element is spacious, with period character throughout and scope to convert the attic for additional accommodation. Outbuildings present clear potential for conversion or expanded commercial use subject to planning (STPP). All business fixtures, fittings and equipment are included, making this a largely turnkey opportunity for an owner-operator or investor seeking an income-producing village property.
Important considerations: the building’s Grade II listed status restricts alterations and will complicate extensions or conversions—any changes will need listed-building consent. Conversion of outbuildings and change of use are subject to planning permission. The business has historically been owner-run, so new operators should review trading accounts and consider staffing needs to maintain current levels of service and footfall.
Overall this is a versatile, characterful property that suits a buyer seeking both an income stream and a large village family home, or an investor aiming to protect a community-focused retail asset while exploring sympathetic development opportunities.
