Description

This property presents a unique investment opportunity with a mixed-use layout, combining a spacious ground floor retail unit and a self-contained one-bedroom flat on the first floor. The retail space, formerly utilized as a post office and newsagent, offers substantial flexibility for various business ventures pending necessary approvals. The accompanying residential flat features a generous double bedroom, an inviting living area, kitchen, and bathroom facilities, all of which are ripe for modernization. Both the commercial and residential components provide significant potential for refurbishment, catering to those looking to enhance value or generate income through rental options. With both areas needing updates, this property invites buyers to reimagine its spaces according to contemporary standards.
