SITUATION & DESCRIPTION
A rare opportunity to acquire a most prominent freehold property positioned at the heart of Salcombe along Fore Street. Located opposite Ferry Steps towards the top end of Fore Street stands this most gracious three storey Georgian period building consisting of a most spacious four bedroom duplex apartment with a ground floor commercial unit below, which has for the last 40 years been ran as a most successful restaurant but offers ample of potential for use as a specialist shop, gallery or cafeteria. In addition, at the rear of the property there is a most delightful walled garden, offering the owners a place to relax, entertain and enjoy dining 'Al Fresco'. With the town's amenities including shops, pubs and restaurants all within short walking distance, it is hard to find a more convenient position. The possibility of sitting or walking on the beach is just 10 minutes away with the East Portlemouth Ferry leaving regularly from the bottom of the ferry steps. Whitestrand, The Kings Arms and South Sands Ferry terminal are no more than a couple of minute's walk away. A look out of the windows in the morning up and down the estuary would be enough to decide on your days plans.
This Grade II listed semi-detached property is described by English Heritage as 'a good example of an architecturally appealing pair of houses with a commercial element of this period c19th century with distinctive original details, multi-paned timber sash windows with an ornamental shop window'.
Planning application has been granted for alterations to the property including adding additional access at the front of the property up to the first floor apartment, and still provide adequate space for the ground floor commercial area to operate as desired. Being sold with vacant possession, this property offers a most suitable home and business opportunity or as a second home along with superb investment potential for both the ground floor and the residential apartment.
