Situation - This mixed retail and residential investment property occupies a prominent position in Market Street at the centre of this attractive Cotswold town. This thriving Cotswold town is just four miles south of Stroud and has an extensive and interesting range of independent shops. There is a monthly Artisans market and an eight mile cycleway that follows the former railway line. Nailsworth has featured in the Sunday Times 101 best places to live in Britain and was quoted as a "lovely Cotswold town". Stroud has a mainline railway station bringing London Paddington within approximately 1.5 hours.

Directions - If entering Nailsworth from the Stroud direction proceed in to the town on the A46 and go straight over the roundabout and take the first turning on the right into Market Street and the property will be found after approximately 100m on the left hand side. The town is serviced by a number of free car parks.

Description - This attractive double fronted shop with two bedroomed maisonette is an ideal investment opportunity located in the centre of this popular Cotswold town of Nailsworth. The property is thought to have been owned by the Nailsworth Brewery whose administrative office was in the nearby Frustration House at the top of Market Street. That building is larger hence they named it Little Frustration House. It dates from 1840 and sits within the Nailsworth Conservation Area. The current owners have owned the property for over 30 years and the commercial shop has previously traded as a surveyors office and more recently a gift shop/jewellery shop. We estimate rental for the shop to be in the region of £7,500 per annum and the retail area covers approximately 315 sq ft and benefits from gas fired radiator central heating. When originally purchased the property was rewired and renovated.

To the side of Little Frustration House a pedestrian access leads to a shared courtyard area with steps leading to a private deck courtyard style garden and access to the first floor maisonette. The maisonette has a hallway, spacious kitchen and a good size living room. On the second floor there are two bedrooms and a shower room. The property has gas central heating and partial double glazing. We anticipate rent for the maisonette to be in the region of £11,000 per annum.
