ABOUT THE PROPERTY
Stylish Mixed-Use Freehold Property with Period Features - Enviable Central Position with coastal views.
A stylish and well-presented mixed-use freehold property, rich in period features and occupying an enviable position with excellent natural light throughout. Arranged over four storeys and extending to approximately 221 sq m (2,378 sq ft), the property is currently operated as a successful art gallery.
The property offers significant potential for alternative uses, with the business and stock available by separate negotiation. There is also scope for subdivision into three apartments (subject to the necessary consents), and we understand the property previously benefited from planning consent for restaurant use.
The ground floor comprises a spacious open-plan showroom/retail space with triple aspect windows. This versatile area could be subdivided to create a kitchen and cloakroom, and also offers potential to reconfigure the building to provide access to upper and lower floors, enabling the creation of separate units and increased income streams, subject to the necessary consents.
The lower ground floor can be accessed via an internal staircase from the gallery and also via a private rear courtyard (with right of access via a neighbouring property).
