Summary - South Street, Fowey, Cornwall, PL23 1AR PL23 1AR
1 bed 1 bath Retail Property (high street)
Substantial mixed-use building near the waterfront, ideal for developers or investors.
Grade II listed four-storey historic building, approx. 1,539 sqft
A substantial Grade II listed high-street building in the heart of Fowey, offered freehold with vacant possession. The four-storey layout (approx. 1,539 sq ft) currently comprises a ground-floor retail unit, upper-floor office and one-bedroom residential accommodation — a flexible setup well suited to investors, developers or an owner-occupier seeking mixed-use income.
The property is rich in period character: exposed beams, an old fireplace and a Victorian shopfront give genuine charm and strong kerb appeal in this affluent harbour town. Its central position places shops, cafés and the waterfront within easy walking distance, and mobile signal is excellent. The EPC rating is B, and mains gas central heating serves the building.
Buyers must allow for meaningful constraints. As a listed building, repairs and alterations will require listed-building consent and could complicate refurbishment costs and timetables. The building is timber-framed with no assumed insulation and shows signs of age — cosmetic and structural investigation is advised. The site sits in a high flood-risk area, which will affect insurance, consent and ground-floor use.
Practical negatives also include very slow broadband and a small plot with limited external space. Taken together, this is a high-potential, characterful central property that rewards buyers who can manage listed-building controls, flood mitigation and retrofit works to unlock rental or owner-occupier value.
