A rare Grade II listed corner building in the heart of Wotton-under-Edge, this substantial freehold property combines generous commercial space and extended residential accommodation. The ground-floor commercial section offers large glazed shopfronts, three principal rooms and two cellars — ideal for retail, showroom or office use. The residential part exceeds 2,000 sq ft with flexible rooms across multiple floors, original beams, sash windows and a dramatic vaulted attic with exposed timbers.
The property's split-plan layout and independent passageway between the commercial and residential areas allow separate use or easy rental of one element while occupying the other. A secluded rear garden and two cellar spaces add practical value. Main services include mains gas central heating via boiler and radiators; the building is double-glazed (install date unknown) and connected to mains utilities.
Buyers should note material considerations: the Grade II listing will restrict alterations and may complicate modernisation or extension. Built before 1900 with assumed as-built cavity walls and no insulation, the fabric will likely need investment to improve thermal performance and energy efficiency (current EPC D (58)). The mix of historic finishes — exposed elm floorboards, original beams and feature fireplaces — is a strong character asset but will require sympathetic maintenance.
This property will suit investors seeking a town-centre asset with dual-income potential, business owners wanting on-site accommodation, or purchasers longing for a historic home with commercial upside. In a very affluent, well-served small-town setting opposite the Tolsey Clock, it presents a high-profile opportunity with clear renovation and conservation responsibilities.
