This interesting investment opportunity currently offers a mixture of three residential rental properties together with a Grade II Listed church that is currently let to a private school that provides education of 11 & 16 years olds. Although the lease is due to expire in July this year due to the retirement of its founder, ownership of the business could also be passed onto the purchaser if desired.
