Chingswell Street, Bideford

A mixed use property of commercial shops, offices and 2 residential apartments. Contact the Bideford team for more information and to arrange a viewing.

A mixed-use, double-fronted property offering an excellent investment opportunity, comprising three offices on the ground floor and two one-bedroom apartments arranged across the upper floors.

Spanning three storeys in total, the property presents a versatile layout that can accommodate both commercial and residential tenants, and is offered for sale with the option of two tenants currently in situ, providing immediate rental income potential.

The ground floor benefits from two separate entrance doors - one leading directly into the left-hand office, which connects through to a rear office, and another providing access to a third, self-contained office space. This flexible configuration allows for individual or combined commercial use and ensures that the residential access remains fully independent if required.

While the property would benefit from a degree of modernisation and updating throughout, it offers great potential for refurbishment or reconfiguration to suit a variety of purposes. The two upper-floor flats are compact yet practical, each comprising one double bedroom, a comfortable living room, a fitted kitchen, and a bathroom. Both apartments are currently let, providing steady income while allowing scope for future enhancement and value growth. This property would appeal to investors, developers, or owner-occupiers seeking a mixed-use asset in a convenient and central location.
