This freehold commercial property is strategically located in the bustling High Street of Maldon, making it an enticing prospect for both owner-occupiers and savvy investors. Previously home to a well-regarded Italian restaurant, this space benefits from excellent visibility and a steady flow of pedestrians, surrounded by a diverse array of independent shops and popular retail outlets.
The ground floor houses a fully equipped restaurant with seating for around 38 patrons, complemented by a commercial kitchen and customer facilities. The property retains characterful elements like exposed beams, providing a cozy and inviting atmosphere that has historically attracted both locals and tourists alike.
Above, you'll find a self-contained two-bedroom flat accessed through its own private entrance. This additional space adds flexibility—ideal for generating rental income, accommodating owners, or serving alternate purposes pending necessary permissions.
Situated in the historic market town of Maldon, known for its friendly community vibe and year-round tourist appeal, the property enjoys easy access to local amenities including shops, cafes, and dining options. Major road links via the A414 to the A12 facilitate straightforward commutes to nearby Chelmsford (approximately 8 miles) and other surrounding areas.
Despite its current configuration as a restaurant, the property presents extensive potential for redevelopment into various uses such as:
* Café or bistro
* Bar or wine lounge
* Delicatessen or specialty food shop
* Boutique retail outlet
* Office or creative workspace (subject to planning consent)
The inclusion of the residential flat further enhances investment opportunities through additional rental income or live-work scenarios.
