Property description
A unique and attractive investment opportunity comprising two residential properties and a commercial unit, all offered with sitting tenants and providing a healthy gross yield, conveniently situated within the heart of the lakeland town of Ellesmere.
Description - Halls are delighted with instructions to offer 3 Scotland Street for sale by private treaty.
3 Scotland Street provides a unique arrangement of two residential properties and one ground floor commercial premises, all of which are fully occupied and with tenants who, we understand, are keen to remain in situ, thus, the property represents an ideal investment opportunity with a current gross yield of circa 6.7%.
The commercial element of the building is currently utilised as a beauty treatment salon and enjoys a prominent town centre location with shop window directly onto Scotland Street.
Positioned behind an unassuming access door leading off Scotland Street is a communal courtyard where access is provided to the two residential properties. The Flat is accessed via steps and boasts two well proportioned Bedrooms, alongside a Bathroom, Kitchen, and Living Room, with the accommodation arranged across two floors. The Old Bakery lies at the culmination of the courtyard and benefits from deceptively spacious living accommodation situated across three floors, with two Bedrooms, Family Bathroom, and open-plan Living/Dining/Kitchen area.
Schooling - Within a comfortable proximity are a number of well-regarded state and private schools including Ellesmere Primary School, Ellesmere College, Lakelands Academy, The Maelor School, The Madras School, Shrewsbury School, Shrewsbury High School, The Priory, Prestfelde Prep., Packwood Haugh, Adcote School for Girls, and Morton Hall.
