Description

• FH Price: £600,000 Guide Price
Occupying a prominent end-of-terrace position in the centre of Dartmouth, this substantial three-storey mixed-use property presents an excellent opportunity for redevelopment or investment. The ground floor comprises a retail unit with ancillary storage, a self-contained garage workshop, a carport, and additional storage buildings. The upper floors are currently configured to provide two apartments, accessed via a shared entrance from Mayor’s Avenue. One of the flats (Flat 2) is in poor condition and has been identified as structurally unsound in parts.

Planning approval (Ref: 1308/24/POD, granted April 2024) has been secured for the internal reconfiguration of the upper floors to create four self-contained residential apartments. The property extends to approximately 0.09 acres (0.04 hectares).
