53-54 Thoroughfare, Halesworth, IP19 8AR

Location

The property has a wide frontage of approximately 19 metres and is partly arranged over three levels to the front and two levels to the rear. The building was originally configured as two separate shops, which have since been combined to form single retail premises, although some areas remain only partially interconnected.

The ground floor provides extensive retail accommodation with a glazed frontage, including a large open-plan sales area within the main section of the building. A single-storey steel frame side extension provides ancillary accommodation, including stores, an office, kitchen, and WCs. To the rear, a further single-storey timber frame glazed extension offers additional retail space opening onto an enclosed, part-surfaced yard.

Access to the upper-floor tenanted flats is provided via a separate, centrally positioned street entrance. Three, one bedroom flats are arranged over the first floor and the fourth, two bedroom flat is at second floor level. The flats are all served by electric heating and are in varying decorative condition.
All four flats are let on residential tenancies and producing a total rental income of £25,860 per annum.
