Working from home?

As more and more of us leave behind the long commute to work and the confines of a crowded office or traditional business unit, Live/Work is a growing concept which offers a financially viable option for creative entrepreneurs by providing affordable combined living and working accommodation.

There is no doubt the Live/Work concept has transformed the life of many business people. The growth of information technology has enabled many to set up businesses from home and not only does this save time and money but offers significant benefits in quality of life.

The layout of a traditional house is not ideal for business; the launch of Live/Work accommodation is the answer. They combine comfortable living accommodation and a dedicated space large enough to accommodate a business with no compromise on quality.

Recognising this growing trend, Oakdale Homes have just released in Misterton Nottinghamshire 4 units for sale designed to empathise and harmonise with the local surroundings. These properties have been designed with careful attention to detail offering approx. 662 sq.ft of business space. The living accommodation has three bedrooms. The master bedroom has an en-suite and there is also a family bathroom. The open plan kitchen dining area is well fitted with high quality kitchen units, oven and hob.

The live work units have permission for which is officially classed as A1, A2 and B1 use, for example
