A rare opportunity to acquire a mixed-use retail investment property, perfectly positioned in the heart of the Lake District.
Situated on the ever-popular Lake Road, the property features a prominent ground floor retail unit with a glazed frontage, offering excellent visibility and footfall. This retail space also has the added benefit of a large basement facility currently utilised as treatment space and further storage. Externally, there is access to a further commercial section, currently configured as an office space. This additional area also has the added benefit of use of a parking space at the rear.
Above, the first floor hosts a spacious three bed apartment, currently let on an Assured Shorthold Tenancy. The apartment is light and airy, enjoying far-reaching views towards the surrounding fells. Tastefully decorated throughout, it provides a high standard of living accommodation.
To the rear of the property, there are two additional income-generating units: a one-bedroom studio flat, which is currently let, and a small office, also let. Both units have private access from the side of North Terrace.
