A fantastic retail investment, business, or home with income opportunity in the heart of the most desirable coastal town of Torquay, Devon.

The premises benefit from a good-sized ground floor retailing area with stores / office, cloak room, fully equipped kitchen, workshop on the lower ground floor and a self-contained 2-bedroom apartment with garden and garage (small). Ideally located only minutes’ walk to the town centre, beach and harbour. Early viewings are highly recommended.

Business
