Presenting an exceptional investment opportunity in the heart of the town centre, this impressive mixed-use property has been thoughtfully modernised to provide high-quality accommodation across multiple levels. Combining character with contemporary finishes, the building is ideally suited to both long-term tenants and the thriving short-term rental market. Beyond its strong financial appeal, the property offers a compelling lifestyle opportunity. Ideal for those seeking a change of pace, it allows for a blend of home and income in one central location - perfect for buyers looking to step away from the traditional 9-5 and enjoy a more flexible, semi-retired way of living.
With multiple self-contained units already in place, the property is perfectly configured for short term lets or serviced accommodation, enabling consistent income while keeping personal living costs low on-site. The current setup supports an efficient, manageable operation with potential to generate circa £30,000 annual profit based on part-time management (approximately 15 hours per week). Situated in a prime town centre location with strong visitor demand, this is a rare opportunity to acquire a versatile, income-generating asset that supports both financial return and lifestyle flexibility.
At ground floor level, a tenanted retail unit is occupied by an established professional business, providing a reliable and consistent income stream. Complementing this are two fully furnished, well-appointed apartments (one two-bedroom and one studio), ideally suited to short-term rental use and already aligned with strong ongoing demand.
The first floor hosts a stylishly refurbished two-bedroom apartment, finished to a high standard and perfectly suited to short term lets or serviced accommodation guests seeking comfort and convenience in a central location.
Occupying the upper levels is a spacious three-bedroom main residence, offering a flexible layout that can accommodate larger guest groups or, alternatively, provide excellent owner-occupier accommodation. This creates an ideal setup for lifestyle buyers or entrepreneurs looking to live on-site while managing and benefiting from the income-generating elements of the property, helping to minimise personal living costs.
Overall, the property presents a well-balanced combination of steady commercial income and scalable short-term rental potential. Its current configuration supports an efficient, part-time managed operation, making it particularly attractive for those seeking a lifestyle change, semi-retirement income, or an opportunity to step away from a traditional 9-5 while maintaining strong earning potential.
