Bideford, EX39 2NF

Substantial freehold town centre offices with private garden, 16'6" x 16'6" double garage, parking and approved residential consent offering exceptional future flexibility.

A rare opportunity to acquire a substantial freehold commercial property occupying a prominent position within the heart of Bideford's thriving town centre.

Currently arranged as professional offices, the property provides spacious and versatile accommodation extending over two floors and is well suited to a wide variety of professional, commercial or business uses. The flexible layout offers an excellent working environment whilst providing a highly visible and easily accessible town centre location.

One of the property's most significant advantages is the outside space. Unlike the vast majority of town centre commercial premises, the property benefits from a private enclosed rear garden together with a 16'6" x 16'6" (5.03m x 5.03m) double garage fitted with an electric roller door and a private parking apron immediately in front. Garaging and parking of this scale are exceptionally rare within such a central location and provide valuable storage, secure parking or operational flexibility.

The property occupies an established commercial position within easy walking distance of the town's shops, cafés, restaurants, banks and professional services, making it ideally suited for businesses wishing to establish a prominent and convenient headquarters.

In addition to its immediate commercial appeal, the property also benefits from Prior Approval for change of use to a single residential dwelling (Class C3) together with Full Planning Permission for the replacement of the existing garage with a detached two-bedroom dwelling extending to approximately 81 sq m (873 sq ft). These consents provide exceptional long-term flexibility and future asset value, whether retained for owner occupation, future redevelopment or investment purposes.

Bideford continues to attract a diverse range of independent retailers, professional practices and service-based businesses. Excellent road links via the North Devon Link Road provide convenient access to Barnstaple, Junction 27 of the M5 and beyond, whilst the town's historic quayside and vibrant commercial centre continue to support a strong local economy.

Commercial properties combining generous accommodation, a private garden, substantial 16'6" x 16'6" double garage, off-road parking and approved future development opportunities are exceptionally uncommon. Early viewing is strongly recommended.
