An exceptional opportunity to acquire a versatile three-storey property offering immediate rental income together with exciting development potential. Currently configured as two well-presented apartments with a partially completed ground floor, the property could create a large town house, three flats, or two flats and a commercial shop space below.

Denise White Estate Agents Comments - An excellent opportunity to acquire a substantial three-storey property currently arranged as two self-contained apartments, with the added potential to create a commercial premises or an additional residential apartment on the ground floor, subject to the necessary planning consents and building regulations.

The current owner has undertaken an extensive programme of renovation throughout the property, with the upper floors completed to a high standard and the ground floor currently nearing completion, offering purchasers the opportunity to finish the space to their own requirements.

The ground floor provides two generously proportioned reception rooms, presenting an ideal layout for a retail or commercial premises. Alternatively, the accommodation lends itself well to conversion into a spacious one-bedroom apartment, with the potential to create an open-plan kitchen and dining area alongside a double bedroom. A utility room provides access to a private gravelled courtyard, while a shower room is currently being installed. The property also benefits from a useful cellar, offering excellent storage space.

A separate entrance leads to the two well-appointed apartments occupying the upper floors, allowing complete independence from the ground floor accommodation.

Flat One has been thoughtfully designed and comprises an open-plan living, kitchen and dining area complete with a breakfast bar, creating a contemporary and sociable living environment. The accommodation continues through to a generous double bedroom featuring built-in storage, complemented by a stylish ensuite shower room.

Flat Two offers a bright and spacious studio-style layout incorporating a living and sleeping area with dual-aspect windows, together with a modern fitted kitchen and a well-appointed bathroom finished to an excellent standard.

Whether purchased as an income-generating investment, a mixed-use commercial and residential opportunity, or with the ambition of converting the property back into an impressive three-storey townhouse (subject to any necessary consents), this versatile building presents exceptional potential. Offering multiple avenues for future use and strong rental prospects, this is a rare opportunity for investors and developers alike.
