Characterful Victorian shop with conversion potential in busy town centre.
Prominent glazed shopfront with large display windows
A mid-terrace Victorian mixed-use building occupying a prominent position on St Ives’ pedestrianised Sheep Market. The ground floor offers a glazed shopfront with large display windows and open-plan commercial space; two upper floors provide ancillary accommodation with high ceilings and period character. A private car park to the rear serves up to five vehicles — a valuable town-centre asset.
At 1,698 sq ft (approximately 157.7 sq m) and offered at £330,000, the property will suit an investor or developer seeking a town-centre retail/office asset with clear conversion potential. The layout and upper-floor proportions make sympathetic office refurbishment or residential conversion feasible, subject to planning and building regulation. The location benefits from strong pedestrian footfall, nearby civic amenities and a broad retail mix.
Buyers should note material issues: tenure is unknown and will need clarification pre-contract; the property requires refurbishment to modern trading or residential standards; and the immediate area records relatively high crime levels compared with local averages. There is no private garden and the footprint is narrow, typical of market-centre units, which may limit extension options. Planning consent will be needed for change of use or significant alteration.
In short, this is a characterful, well-located town-centre investment with practical parking and conversion upside. It suits a buyer comfortable managing refurbishment and navigating planning, who wants a prominent retail/office base or a redevelopment opportunity in central St Ives.
