A striking Grade II listed building in the heart of Downham Market, offered as a single freehold lot combining ground-floor commercial space and two self-contained apartments above. The property totals around 900 sq ft and sits at the town-centre entrance, giving excellent pedestrian exposure and immediate access to local amenities and good schools.
The top-floor apartment has been newly renovated to a high standard, with tall ceilings, exposed beams and an open-plan feel that blends period character with contemporary finishes. The ground floor currently houses a long-established hairdressing salon, demonstrating viable continued commercial use or the potential for alternative town-centre business ideas. Broadband is fast and mobile signal is excellent, supporting residential comfort or running a small business from the premises.
Important practical points: the building’s Grade II listing and age (parts date to the 1600s) mean alterations will be restricted and require listed-building consent; this may complicate any planned refurbishment or change of use. The property is located in an area with higher-than-average crime and local deprivation indicators, which buyers should weigh against the central location and rental potential. Offered freehold, with a decent plot and clear no-flood risk.
This site suits an investor or owner-occupier who values character and town-centre exposure — someone prepared to work within listing constraints to secure rental income or continue a retail/service business. The combination of established commercial tenancy and renovated residential accommodation creates immediate income potential and longer-term upside if sympathetic improvements are possible under listing controls.
