Fore Street, Shaldon, TQ14

FREEHOLD RETAIL UNIT IN THE CENTRE OF SHALDON

A well-presented freehold retail unit in the centre of Shaldon, with a large display window, a stable-style entrance door and fitted shop furnishings, available with vacant possession.

The unit provides approximately 28.2 sq m (303 sq ft) of trading space, arranged as a single open retail space with a rear fitting area and a WC. Recently trading as a clothing and gifts boutique, it is trade-ready and suited to a range of independent retail, gallery, studio or service uses (subject to any necessary consents).

The property sits on Fore Street in the heart of Shaldon, a popular riverside village on the Teign estuary. The village draws a steady flow of residents and visitors, particularly in the summer season, and the unit is surrounded by other independent businesses.

Off the rear of the shop, the cloakroom measures approximately 1.56m x 1.10m (5'1" x 3'7") and has a low-level WC and wash hand basin. A high-level shelf provides useful storage.
