Fore Street, Seaton, Devon EX12

Recently updated and improved town centre period 2/3 bedroom cottage and freehold shop suitable for a number of uses. Ideal investment property or home with income.

The Property:
24 Fore Street is a town centre property which offers a home with income or investment opportunity. At the front of the property there is a shop which could be let out or used by any prospective purchaser.

The shop has more recently been used as a retail unit and a café in the past', however, could suit many uses subject to any change of use required.

To the rear of the shop there is a small outside area and beyond this is a period cottage which has been the subject of modernisation and updating both inside and out by the current owner.

The cottage itself is completely tucked away in the heart of the town and not overlooked at all. It comprises a living room, fitted kitchen/breakfast room a sizeable bathroom and two bedrooms upstairs with an occasional bedroom three. To the side and rear of the cottage there is a very pretty courtyard garden area which has a Mediterranean feel being whitewashed with attractive detailing to the walls and newly created seating areas. The cottage has full uPVC double glazed windows and gas fired central heating.

Access to the cottage is gained via a passageway to the side of the shop and door which opens to the cottage courtyard at the rear. The cottage is entered directly into the kitchen which has been upgraded recently with a range of base units with wooden worktops, some industrial style wall units along with some freestanding cupboards and units which creates a lovely quirky feel. There is an electric built-in oven with electric hob over and space and plumbing for a number of under unit appliances along with space for a freestanding fridge/freezer. An under stairs cupboard doubles up as a larder cupboard and the floor is tiled. A door leads to a sizeable bathroom with corner bath, separate shower, WC and wash hand basin. The living room is access from the kitchen. This room has been drylined, a new floor added and has patio door leading to the outside, has some exposed stonework. Open tread stairs rise from the kitchen to the first floor landing area with balustrading to the stairs opening with door to the sizeable Master Bedroom with fitted wardrobes. There is a further 2nd Bedroom with an interconnecting Bedroom 3.

The cottage is impossible to see from the roadside and therefore an internal viewing is necessary.
