A large detached Grade II listed stone building, a Shaftesbury landmark a few minutes level walk from the town centre, now with consent for conversion to a residential dwelling.
La Fleur de Lys has been run for the last twenty years as an award-winning hotel and restaurant but now gives an incoming buyer the opportunity to convert to a substantial house of about 5300 sq ft a short distance from the town centre. Planning Permission and Listed Building consent were granted by Dorset Council on 24th January 2024 for the conversion of existing restaurant and hotel letting rooms to a single dwelling and associated works. La Fleur de Lys is an attractive stone building with Ashlar front and dormer windows under a pitched slate roof. To the rear of the building there are effectively two single storey additions, the first connected to the main building being brick elevations under a pitched tiled roof and a further timber clad extension. Proposed internal accommodation will be spacious and adaptable with three/four reception rooms, kitchen, double bedroom with ensuite, hall and two cloakrooms on the ground floor. There is also a cellar. The first floor could comprise up to seven bedrooms with ensuite shower/bathrooms while the top floor could be further accommodation, home offices or storage.
