Description

This property represents a compelling mixed-use investment opportunity, consisting of three ground-floor office spaces and two one-bedroom residential apartments on the upper levels. It covers three storeys in total, providing a flexible layout ideal for both commercial and residential tenants. There are currently two tenants in place, allowing for immediate rental income while also presenting a chance for renovation to enhance the existing value. The commercial spaces are accessible via two separate entrances, ensuring flexibility for use as individual offices or combined as needed, while maintaining independent access to the residential units. Although the property requires some modernisation throughout, it holds significant potential for refurbishment or reconfiguration to meet various market demands. Each of the compact upper-floor flats features a double bedroom, living room, fitted kitchen, and bathroom—currently let out but also offering possibilities for updates that could increase rental yields and overall equity. Situated in Bideford—a charming historic market town along the River Torridge—the property benefits from local amenities including shops, cafés, leisure facilities, and proximity to stunning coastal scenery. The surrounding area is rich with characterful villages like Westward Ho! and Appledore, providing a balance of vibrant seaside activities and serene coastal living. This makes it an attractive option for investors or prospective owner-occupiers looking to capitalise on a mixed-use asset in this desirable location.

WHOTS analysis

Our WHOTS verdict

An internal assessment of the opportunity to acquire, improve and create value.

73out of 100
Grade BGood opportunity

Confidence: MEDIUM

At £110,000, this mixed-use property is offered at £89/sqf, well below the local average of £299/sqf—a strong entry point for a buyer looking to improve and add value. The three-storey layout combines ground-floor offices with two independently accessed one-bedroom apartments, and the option of tenants in situ offers potential income while planning the next steps.

The photographed interiors are dated, with worn finishes in several areas, and the rear courtyard would benefit from attention. That gives a buyer scope for a substantial, tailored improvement programme across the commercial and residential spaces rather than a cosmetic refresh. The overall score is 73/100, grade B: the low asking price and strong economics stand out, while the project itself is a significant part of the opportunity.

Key opportunities

  • Rework and modernise the combination of offices and two apartments to suit a range of commercial and residential uses.
  • Improve the photographed finishes and courtyard to give the property a more coherent, cared-for presentation.
  • Independent residential access and the option of tenants in situ offer flexibility for managing the commercial and residential parts.

Key risks

  • A substantial multi-area programme across the dated interiors and neglected courtyard will take more time and coordination than a cosmetic refresh; plan the work around the existing tenancies if retained.
