An excellent opportunity to acquire a well-positioned mixed-use property in the heart of Alnwick, combining a former fish and chip shop with a spacious three-bedroom duplex apartment. Located opposite a Co-op and benefiting from strong passing trade and consistent footfall, the property is ideally suited for investors or owner-occupiers seeking both commercial and residential income streams. The property is within easy walking distance of local amenities, including The Duchess’s Community High School, and is less than a 10-minute walk from Alnwick town centre, making it a highly desirable and accessible location.

The commercial unit has most recently been operated as a fish and chip shop and is fitted with a traditional service counter and preparation areas, offering a ready-made opportunity for reinstatement or adaptation to alternative uses subject to any necessary consents.

The residential accommodation is arranged as a well-proportioned three-bedroom duplex apartment, accessed separately and offering comfortable living accommodation.

Externally, the property benefits from side access leading to a private garden area, offering outdoor space for both residential use and commercial practicality. A significant advantage is the large double garage, providing excellent storage, workshop potential, or additional rental opportunities.
