A prominent Grade II listed freehold on Market Street, Sandwich, offering versatile high-street retail with upper-floor residential potential. The ground-floor shop has a wide period frontage with two large display windows and generous internal space that benefits from good natural light and a modern finish to the sales area. Planning permission has been granted to convert the first floor to residential use to create a two-storey flat, increasing rental or owner-occupier flexibility (Dover District Council Ref: 25/00807).
The property currently combines commercial use (ground and first floors) with a one-bedroom flat above, providing immediate income or an on-site manager option. Accommodation across three floors totals approximately 1,416 sq ft and includes a cloakroom, kitchenette, treatment room/salon, display/store room and small rear paved yard with pedestrian access to St Peters’ Street. There is a communal rear access; note that 10 Market Street holds a right of access over the rear land.
Important practical points for buyers and investors: the building is listed, which will constrain alterations and may increase repair costs; there is no central heating system present (electric heaters assumed); and the property sits in an area with higher crime rates, which may affect insurance and tenant profiles. Conversely, the location is in a very affluent, busy town-centre with excellent broadband and mobile signal, nearby good schools and local amenities — factors that support both retail footfall and short-to-medium term rental demand.
