A delightful home and income opportunity situated in a busy Torquay high street, a gateway to Torquay town centre. This area is currently undergoing a gentrification process with many local shops and business nearby, offering good passing traffic and footfall. Theres good sized glazed shop frontage, giving way to very roomy two/three bedroom living space.
The entrance features a bifold door set that opens into the shop area, currently utilised as a florist. This split level area is open plan with good lighting front to rear. The rearmost office area features a sink and kitchen area, previously housing a cloakroom (with the residual plumbing intact).
A secure doorway then opens into the residential unit, with stairs down to the garden level living area, and stairs up to the bedroom area. That garden level features a lounge with high ceilings, with the original fire place, easily recommissioned, if needs be. This room has under-stairs storage and a casement door that opens into the rear garden - offering a private entrance to the home, if you want to subdivide the home and business.
A box archway opens into the kitchen, big enough to accommodate a breakfast set. This space features modern Shaker style base and eye level units with butcher block effect work surfaces and subway tiled splash backs. There’s also undercounter space for both a fridge and freezer set, and a fitted double electric oven and grill.
Upstairs sees two very good front and rear double bedrooms, the front master enjoying a deep wardrobe recess, offering the ability to accommodate some significant sized furniture.
There’s a very spacious loft area too, it easily accommodates a bedroom set, it also features a Velux window offering good light and privacy. Access is via a rustic loft ladder, a natural return offers staircase room for further development.
Outside
Steps down from the rear uPVC casement door leads to a utility cupboard that houses plumbing and space for a washing machine and a full size tumble dryer.
Steps then lead to a covered courtyard area, with a doorway to a workshop or storage area, that offers good development potential.
Further steps bring you to an intimate courtyard that’s paved, and enclosed by shadow box fencing. It’s a nice entertainment area, shielded somewhat from any real traffic noise.
A secure timber gateway opens into a vehicular driveway, offering an easy drop off point for deliveries, or just private access to the main home.
As previously mentioned, this property offers good home and income and/or a development opportunity in a very popular part of Torquay. There’s a mix of single and double glazing throughout the building, a recently serviced gas combination boiler provides heat and hot water.
This is a profitable florist that can be bought as a running concern.
