A rare freehold high-street investment combining a long-established Post Office and retail shop with substantial four-bedroom living accommodation above. The post office produces a consistent gross income (circa £76.9k in 2024) supplemented by shop sales and six outreach branches, offering diversified revenue streams and strong local footfall on Chudleigh’s period high street. The property includes practical extras: two garages, off-street parking, a lawned garden, basement storage/games room and included shop fixtures.
The building is a five-storey Regency/Georgian townhouse constructed before 1900 with granite walls and high ceilings that add character and appeal to residents and customers alike. It is presented as well maintained internally and has an EPC rating of C. The business has been owner-operated with three part-time staff and benefits from small business rates relief on a rateable value of £5,900.
Material considerations for a buyer: the property is an older stone-built building (assumed uninsulated walls) which can increase heating costs and may limit immediate energy-efficiency gains without fabric improvements. As an operator you will rely on the Post Office contract and outreach network for a large portion of income, and the commercial fit-out and PO counters are integral to trading. The property offers clear potential—either continue as an owner-operator, let the residential element while running the business, or redevelop/change-use subject to consents.
This is best suited to an investor or owner-operator looking for an established post office business with residential accommodation in a thriving South Devon town. The mix of steady post office income, store receipts and sizeable ancillary space (garages, garden, storage) makes it a versatile purchase with immediate trading potential.
