A unique opportunity to acquire a property in the heart of Northdown Road shopping area in Cliftonville. The property is arranged as a vacant ground floor commercial unit with basement and three-bedroom maisonette above, which is currently let, although we understand the tenants will be vacating. The property has also been granted Planning Permission for a two-storey rear extension to create a two-bedroom maisonette.
The building is situated in a good location among both local and nationwide retailers as well as being a short distance from Margate's popular seafront and old town.
There has been a new flat roof to the rear of the shop which we have been informed came with a 10-year Guarantee. Works were carried out to the maisonette roof and the maisonette itself could do with some improvement.
