St. Johns Street, Wirksworth

Great income potential here! Located on the main street of the popular market town of Wirksworth is this characterful four storey brick building which incorporates a good sized ground floor shop with cellar and a two storey three bedroomed flat above. There is excellent passing foot and road traffic for the shop which has full window frontage and a small kitchen and WC. The flat is extremely well presented throughout and has a large reception room, dining kitchen, three bedrooms and a family bathroom. It retains many period features from high ceilings and sash windows to fireplaces and the beautiful staircase. There are great rooftop views from the flat.

Please note: The upper floors are currently classified as an artist's studio but the owner is in the process of changing the classification back to residential (which it had been for many years, prior to the current owner's purchase in 2021).

There is a small yard with store to the rear and on-street parking and car parks nearby. The shop and the flat are completely separate but the building is being offered for sale as a whole. Viewing Highly Recommended.
