PRIME RETAIL PREMISES WITH BASEMENT FLAT FOR SALE - 53 FORE STREET
£425,000 is sought for the freehold interest with vacant possession

Ref: 3956
  

Situated on the much sought after trading location of Fore Street, the well presented retail shop has first floor accommodation suited to residential use, subject to planning, along with a one bed self-contained basement flat

LOCATION:
St Ives is one of the most characterful and busiest resorts in the south west. The quaint harbour town is extremely popular during the summer season but also benefits from tourist trade throughout the year due largely to the Tate Gallery and its links with the artist community. The town is highly sought after by National, Regional and Local retailers and there are numerous respected restaurants, bistros and cafes.

SITUATION:
The property is situated on the much sought after trading location of Fore Street, the main shopping thoroughfare, adjacent to Myrings Fudge & Rock Shop and in close proximity to the harbour front and The Digey, which gives direct access to the Tate Gallery. Other nearby occupiers include The Cook House, Crew Clothing and Joules.

The basement flat is in Court Cocking and is accessed off Wharf Road, close to Hobblers Restaurant. There is a stepped cut-through to Fore Street which arrives opposite Crew Clothing.

DESCRIPTION:
Shallow steps access the immaculately presented ground floor retail space which continues toward the rear of the premises, ideal for separate retail displays. There is potential for the rear area to be enlarged by removing the redundant, blocked-in staircase to the basement flat. Good storage and office accommodation is provided at first floor level, steps up to which are situated via the rear sales area. The first floor has the potential for residential conversion, subject to planning.

The one bed basement flat offers an open plan kitchen/dining room/lounge and a shower room with toilet and wash hand basin. We understand that neighbouring premises are leased for holiday accommodation.
