Property description
Located in the heart of town, just a short stroll from all amenities, this charming stone-fronted property offers an exceptional investment opportunity. Expertly converted 30 years ago, the building now houses 3 self-contained flats and a separate 2 Bedroom cottage, each offering significant rental potential.
Spanning 3 floors, the property is accessed via a Communal Hallway, featuring a spiral staircase. On the Ground Floor, you'll find a well-appointed 1 Bedroom flat. The first and second floors each host identical 2 Bedroom flats, with the top floor flat benefiting from additional roof lights and both enjoying partial river views.
Within the Communal Hallway, there is a secure storage area, currently used for bicycle storage, adding to the appeal for tenants. The flats are accessed by a covered walkway that leads to the rear of the building, where you'll discover the adjoining 2 Bedroom cottage. This cottage, which boasts a private courtyard, is currently vacant and offers an excellent opportunity for refurbishment to further increase its rental value.
The flats have a proven track record of successful letting, with long-term tenants in place, generating a current annual rental income of approximately £22,500. However, there is significant potential to increase this figure in line with current market rates, particularly after modernising the vacant cottage.
Realistically priced to attract an early sale, this property represents a superb investment with immediate income and potential for growth. Don’t miss out on this unique opportunity to enhance your property portfolio in a highly desirable location.Bideford is a peaceful olde worlde market town on the River Torridge.
