Description
A fantastic property investment opportunity, available for the first time in over two decades. This prime offering comprises a retail shop, a two-bedroom duplex apartment with its own private entrance, and two recently built one-bedroom apartments. The property generates an impressive income with minimal oversight and is situated in the highly sought-after area of St Marychurch in Torquay, Devon. Early viewings are highly recommended. This investment is successfully owner-operated with minimal involvement due to the quality of tenants who have been there for many years. Actual profit and loss accounts for this will be made available following a successful formal viewing.
This investment is in a prime location in the heart of the busy pedestrian precinct of St Marychurch, Torquay. It benefits from significant footfall from both locals and holidaymakers. The area is easily accessible by road and has a regular bus service. Nearby, there are key arterial road links connecting to other parts of Devon and beyond. Additionally, the immediate vicinity offers two large council car parks, as well as short-term and unrestricted parking options.
Diverse Income Streams The property benefits from multiple income streams, ensuring financial stability and reducing risk:
Retail Unit (Lease)
Two-bedroom duplex apartment (AST)
One-bedroom apartment (AST)
One-bedroom apartment (AST)
The retail unit is let under a lease, with the tenants successfully trading, while the remaining 3 x residential tenants occupy the apartments under Assured Shorthold Tenancies (ASTs). The owners currently manage the tenancies as required.
