Market Street, Sandwich

Situated in the heart of Sandwich town centre on Market Street, this freehold mid terrace property presents a rare mixed-use investment opportunity, combining a ground floor commercial unit with a spacious three storey residential maisonette above. The building is being sold as a single freehold entity, with the commercial premises currently occupied by a tenant operating a retail business, and therefore offered with tenant in situ, providing an immediate income stream for prospective investors. With access from both Market Street and St Peters Street, the property also benefits from a private rear courtyard, adding to its overall versatility and appeal.

The ground floor commercial unit comprises a large open plan retail space with a separate store room or workshop to the rear, which in turn provides direct access to the courtyard and rear access onto St Peters Street. This layout is well suited to a variety of business uses and benefits from a central, high footfall location within this historic town.

The residential accommodation is arranged as a generous maisonette with its own private entrance leading from the ground floor into a hallway with stairs rising to the upper levels. On the first floor, the landing provides access to a kitchen diner with an external door opening onto a roof terrace, a living room enjoying views over Market Street, two double bedrooms including one with fitted wardrobes, a bathroom and a separate WC. The property continues to the second floor via a secondary staircase, leading to a partially converted loft room along with additional roof void storage. The maisonette benefits from modern gas central heating and retains some period features, although it would benefit from a programme of updating and refurbishment, offering scope to add value.

Externally, the property features a gated and enclosed rear courtyard accessed from St Peters Street, providing shared access to both the commercial unit and residential accommodation. The roof terrace extends over the rear section of the ground floor, offering outdoor space, although the flat roof is believed to require further investigation and potential remedial works. Positioned within central Sandwich, this is a unique opportunity for investors or owner occupiers seeking a combination of commercial income and residential accommodation within a highly desirable and historic location.

Situation - Sandwich is one of Kent’s most historic and desirable towns, offering a unique blend of period charm, excellent amenities and strong transport connections. As a former Cinque Port, the town is renowned for its medieval architecture, cobbled streets and wealth of independent shops, cafés, public houses and restaurants, alongside everyday conveniences including supermarkets, healthcare facilities and leisure amenities. The town is particularly well served for education, with a range of primary schools and the highly regarded Sir Roger Manwood’s Grammar School. Sandwich railway station provides regular mainline services to Canterbury, Ramsgate and London, making it a practical choice for commuters, while the nearby A256 offers convenient road links to Dover, Deal and the wider Kent motorway network. Surrounded by attractive countryside and close to the coast, Sandwich offers a highly appealing setting for both residential living and commercial investment.
