This compact ground-floor retail unit (approx 452 sq ft / 42 sq m) occupies an end-of-terrace, highly visible position in Totnes close to Fore Street and the town centre. Newly finished and carpeted, the layout provides an open sales space with a rear W/C and potential to combine with the adjacent unit for more floor area or operational flexibility. Amended use classes permit a range of E-class activities — retail, café, creche, indoor recreation or gym — broadening income possibilities.
The location benefits from good footfall, nearby public parking and further custom expected from the adjoining Churchill Retirement Living development. The town’s affluent, independent retail character and mainline rail link to London support steady customer demand and long-term town-centre viability. Fast broadband and excellent mobile signal add practical value for modern retail or service operations.
Buyers should note material facts plainly: the price is subject to VAT, business rates have not yet been assessed, and ownership/tenure details are unspecified. The property uses electric room heaters rather than gas, which may affect operating costs, and local crime statistics are recorded as high. Limited outside seating is possible only at landlord discretion.
This unit will suit an investor or an owner-operator seeking a low-footprint starter outlet in a desirable market town. It is newly constructed (2024), recently renovated and available for occupation mid-2025, offering a straightforward entry into Totnes retail with options to scale by linking to the neighbouring unit.
