Excellent Mixed Use Investment Producing Double Digit Returns

A great mixed-use investment opportunity, comprising 3 x self-contained apartments and 1 x retail/office unit, with realistic potential to convert the commercial unit back into an additional residential dwelling, subject to any necessary consents. Services have been separated, with the exception of the water supply, for which an allowance is included within the rent. This double-digit yield investment is arranged over two storeys to the front and three storeys to the rear, offering an excellent return with further scope for growth. Located only a few minutes' walk from the town centre, harbour, beach, and the central bus and railway stations, early viewings are highly recommended.

It is ideally situated on Abbey Road, just a short walk from Torquay's vibrant town centre, picturesque seafront, and convenient rail and bus links. A multi-storey car park is also located on the same road, providing excellent parking facilities for residents and visitors alike.

The investment comprises 2 x two-bedroom apartments, 1 x large one-bedroom studio garden suite, and 1 x office/retail unit on the ground floor (currently owner occupied). All apartments are currently let and produce an income of £27,300 per annum. Together with a realistic rental value of £6,000 per annum for the office/retail unit, the property provides an impressive total income of £33,300 per annum and a return of approximately 12% based upon the full asking price.
