The Chequers is a most attractive former country pub which dates back to the late 18th century. Sat on half an acre (subject to STMS) this property benefits from a quaint village location and stunning field views. The interior provides a spacious bar and dining area and therefore offers the ability to create larger or smaller guest areas, a well-equipped and positioned commercial kitchen, ample storage and modern bathrooms. To the first floor there is a bright and generously sized 2-bedroom apartment.

Planning Permission granted 01/06/2021 for a change of use from a public house to two dwellings, including alternations. More recently, Pre-Application Advice has been received confirming an Application to convert the property to a single dwelling. As such, there is scope to provide a superb family home. Standing in about half an acre (subject to STMS) to include the potential of a building plot subject to Planning Permission. Would be hard to resist

Gedney Dyke is an unspoilt small village with many other good quality individual homes. Location of the property about 1.5 miles north of the A17 for ease of access. The small but busy Market Town of Long Sutton is located approximately 3 miles away and has a good range of amenities including Co-Op Store/Post Office, One Stop, Boots, Health Centre, Library, Ironmongers, Electrical store, Dentists, Hairdressers and various eateries. The larger towns of Kings Lynn and Spalding are both approximately 19 miles away and have ongoing coach and rail links direct to London and the North.



The property underwent a comprehensive scheme of improvement around 12 years ago to provide a fine dining restaurant with a very comfortable 'Mangers' 2 bedroom flat above.
