A fantastic retail investment, business or home with income opportunity in the heart of the most desirable coastal town of Torquay, Devon. This property has been in the same ownership for many years and has traded very successfully with high passing foot and vehicle traffic. The ample short term parking opposite is ideal and the premises benefit from a good-sized ground floor retailing area with store, 3-bedroom duplex apartment with sun room and garden and only minutes’ walk to the town centre, beach and harbour. Early viewings are highly recommended

The premises are ideally located on Union Street which is an excellent secondary location within all year-round busy Torquay, Devon. Immediately outside the shop is free short-term parking and the pavements on both sides benefit from a high foot fall. It is centrally located on the level with beautiful flat sandy beaches nearby. The property is within a short driving distance of Brixham and Paignton or it’s easy to catch public transport if you don’t want to drive. Nearby is the main train and bus station and easy access to main motorways linking all parts of the UK.

The premises are currently operated by the owners as a Florist (Torbay Florist) and have been doing so for many years. Whilst this will be sold with vacant possession, should anybody wish to operate as a florist from this location, a separate discussion to hand over the existing goodwill, fixtures and fittings would be welcome. The premises would suit many uses, from owner operator, investment or even development. There are two entrances to the property, front and rear.
