DESCRIPTIONA rare investment or business opportunity in the heart of historic Beverley's Georgian Quarter. Itself a grade II listed building of great character, this property has been developed and modernised to provide a retail sales shop on the high street frontage, with accommodation over three floors, and to the rear a fully self contained cottage style apartment. This two bedroomed living accommodation is appointed to a high standard and has latterly been used as a popular holiday let and rental unit providing repeat bookings from clearly satisfied customers. The vendor has operated a leather goods retail business from the shop unit, which is sold with vacant possession, creating the opportunity for a purchaser to acquire a live-work business unit in this fashionable town centre business area dominated by independent specialist retailers. Equally, investors could continue with the letting of the cottage and shop unit which may present potential for further residential conversion, subject to all required permissions.
