A rare freehold opportunity on Topsham's Fore Street, this Grade II listed 18th-century property combines a ground-floor retail unit with a spacious two-bedroom maisonette above. The residential accommodation offers generous room heights, period detailing and a converted loft providing flexible space; the whole extends to approximately 1,304 sq ft, larger than many town-centre units.
The ground-floor shop benefits from traditional timber-framed glazing and immediate pedestrian exposure, positioned adjoining the Co-op for strong footfall. The maisonette is accessed via a pedestrian right of way beneath the arch and provides bright living rooms and well-proportioned bedrooms, with gas boiler and underfloor heating present.
This building is suited to buyers seeking mixed-use income and lifestyle appeal in a very affluent, low-crime town centre. There is clear scope to retain the commercial tenancy for rental income or adapt the space subject to consents, offering longer-term value through careful refurbishment.
Important practical points: Grade II listed status will restrict alterations and can complicate conversions or development. The plot is small with no obvious rear garden, and the property sits in a medium flood-risk zone — buyers should obtain specialist advice and appropriate insurance. Some permissions will be required for change of use or significant works.
