This Grade II listed property presents a unique opportunity for those looking to invest in a multi-faceted building with a blend of commercial and residential potential. Comprising a ground-floor retail unit along with basement office space, it also includes a first and second floor flat and an attached two-storey cottage, allowing for various possibilities within one site.
The ground-floor retail space features an established A1 unit that has been modified by the current tenant, complete with a kitchenette and staff WC. The accompanying basement offers additional potential as office space or storage, accessible via a staircase from the retail area. This layout not only capitalizes on the high street visibility but also benefits from shared pedestrian access at the rear.
The residential components are ripe for renovation. The first-floor flat is arranged over two levels and is in need of modern updates, comprising two bedrooms on the upper floor, along with a kitchen, bathroom, and two reception rooms below. This separate entrance enhances its appeal as an independent living space or rental option. Meanwhile, the attached cottage—also in need of rejuvenation—features a living room, kitchen, cloakroom, two bedrooms, and a bathroom. Both residences offer significant potential for interior improvements that could elevate their value substantially.
Externally, there is a rear garden accompanied by a garden shed, providing some outdoor space that could be enhanced further. Access to both the flat and the cottage is granted through a side pathway from the retail front.
Situated prominently on Marlborough High Street, this property enjoys proximity to an array of local amenities including shops, cafes, restaurants, and pubs. Essential services such as doctors' surgeries and leisure facilities are conveniently located nearby. Additionally, larger towns like Swindon cater to broader day-to-day needs while offering excellent road and rail links—including easy access to the M4 motorway and direct trains to London Paddington from connections in Pewsey or Swindon.
Marlborough itself is known for its strong educational institutions such as Marlborough College and St John's Marlborough secondary schools. The surrounding countryside provides ample opportunities for outdoor activities like walking and riding. With its strategic location and diverse spaces awaiting modernization, this property stands out as an attractive prospect for investors looking to capitalize on both residential and commercial possibilities in a vibrant market.
