A Grade II listed mid-terrace on Corve Street offering clear mixed-use potential in central Ludlow. The ground floor has been used as a successful retail/hairdressing unit and provides a prominent shopfront; two upper floors deliver two-bedroom residential accommodation with period character, tall ceilings and a vaulted main bedroom. The convenient town-centre location places shops, cafes and the train station a short walk away—good for footfall and tenant demand.
The building's flexibility is its main commercial attraction: continued ground-floor retail with owner-occupier or let upper floors, or a single residential conversion subject to consents. Features such as exposed beams, an original stone wall, open fireplace and cellar storage enhance appeal and let the property command a premium for character-led lettings or short-term holiday use where permitted.
Important constraints are material and must be factored into any purchase. Grade II listing restricts alterations and will add time and cost to refurbishment or change-of-use works; necessary consents may not be straightforward. The plot is compact with only a small private courtyard and on-street parking only. The local area shows higher crime and relative deprivation, which can affect rental yields, insurance and tenant choice.
For investors or owner-occupiers seeking character in a prime Ludlow location, this property offers obvious upside through sensible refurbishment and suitable commercial leasing. However, budget realistically for listed-building works, potential consent delays and management considerations arising from the town-centre setting.
