Located in the sought-after Harrowgate Hill area of Darlington, this mixed-use property represents a compelling investment opportunity. The premises consist of a sizable commercial shop unit alongside a self-contained 1-2 bedroom flat, both of which require refurbishment, presenting an ideal chance for value enhancement through modern improvements. The commercial space features a large shop front with shutter access, and includes essential kitchen and bathroom facilities, along with convenient rear yard access. This versatile property previously operated as a convenience store, but could easily be reimagined to suit different business models.
The residential unit has its own entrance and is complemented by a modest side garden. With a flexible layout comprising three rooms plus a kitchen and bathroom, it offers comfortable living space that can cater to rental demands or owner occupancy.
There are numerous development possibilities ranging from maintaining the current configuration of the shop with an apartment above to converting the entire property into two separate flats (subject to planning permission). Additionally, potential exists for adding another floor to create even more residential units.
Ideally placed in a vibrant area with good local amenities and strong transport links to Darlington town center, this property appeals to both residential tenants and local businesses alike. The substantial scope for refurbishment makes this an intriguing proposition for any investor seeking to maximize returns.
