LOCATION
With a resident population of around 32,000 including nearby villages, Bideford is the second largest town in North Devon, and the town has a reputation as a pleasant place to live, work and visit. In recent years Bideford has benefited from lots of investment and development, including the ongoing Atlantic Park retail area and improvements to the historic town centre and quayside, and the current Local Plan allows for a further 4,000 homes plus leisure facilities. Bideford is within 3 miles of some well-known North Devon locations such as Appledore, Westward Ho!, Instow and Northam and only 9 miles from the area’s commercial centre of Barnstaple. It is also within a half-hour’s drive of Exmoor National Park, the beaches around Woolacombe, Croyde and Saunton, and the Devon-Cornwall border.
THE SITUATION
The property is situated within the centre of the pedestrianised area known as Mill Street which connects Bridgeland Street and the town's High Street. Mill Street has undergone considerable investment of recent years including mixed residential and commercial development schemes close by.
THE PROPERTY AND CONSTRUCTION
Being of three storey construction under a pitched slate roof with 2 shop fronts at ground floor, one single fronted, one double fronted and rendered elevations above. 11 Mill Street consists of 260 sq.ft (24 sq.m) retail / office unit with rear store and toilet whilst 12 Mill Street has a retail / office area of 246 sq.ft (23 sq.m) plus additional ground floor office and first floor storage space and toilet. There is a central hallway which can be accessed from both shops as well as by an additional street level access meaning the upper floors can be self-contained if desired. The first and second floors provide a variety of office space, totalling 9 offices plus storage in the roof space. These upper floors are currently configured as offices but it is thought they could be suitable for conversion to 2 residential flats, subject to suitable PP.
