This lovely period building, with its prominent frontage and superb trading location comprises a retail shop, office area, store and toilet on the ground floor, formerly an established shoe shop, and a two bedroom self-contained apartment to the first and second floors, which has previously been a successful holiday let.
There is also a useful basement for additional storage and a rear courtyard which can be accessed separately from the shop or via a rear gate. Although the existing shop is long established, the space available on the ground floor offers enormous potential for a variety of uses, subject of course to the necessary licenses and permissions, and the accommodation above could not only generate an income as a holiday let but could alternately provide permanent residential accommodation for long term tenants or anyone wanting to live above the business.
The property’s location means that it is brilliantly situated to take full advantage of the town’s amenities and considerable passing trade, both local and tourist. Please note there is NO CHAIN and this property comes with full vacant possession
