This well-maintained and striking property sits right in the heart of Sidmouth and brings with it flexible living arrangements and potential business opportunities. The double-fronted period property will appeal to a wide variety of buyers including those looking for a home bringing with it an extra source of income, or those wanting a large family home in the hub of the town (subject to obtaining planning consent to change the property to full residential use).

Currently, the property arrangement includes a spacious and well-kept duplex apartment with two retail premises below. The whole property has been in the hands of its present owners for almost 50 years who have also been running businesses from the two ground floor shop units. The shops are currently homing an established hairdressing salon and a ladies' dress agency, yet the owners are looking to retire.

The maisonette is arranged over two floors and is presented to a high standard throughout, with pleasing neutral decor and access to a high degree of natural light. On the first floor, there's a large open plan living and dining room, a tidy L-shaped kitchen with cream coloured units and a well-proportioned bedroom. A lovely roof terrace also sits on this floor which overlooks the property's walled rear gardens. The master bedroom is located on the second floor and benefits from a charming feature beam, splendid views, and an en-suite bathroom and separate dressing room.
