The property is located at the lower end of the St. Marychurch Precinct in the St. Marychurch area of Torquay. This is a thriving commercial area with a superb selection of local independent and national businesses. Nearby occupiers include a selection of retailers, pubs and cafes, professional service occupiers, convenience stores and beauty operators.   This is also a popular residential area. 7 Fore Street is located at the prime lower end of the pedestrianised precinct.  

The property comprises a ground floor lockup retail unit, with ancillary basement storage. Most recently this has traded as a florist but is being sold with Vacant Possession, giving investors an opportunity to relet on their own terms or owner occupiers the potential for trading from their own freehold shop.  

The separately accessed and self-contained upper parts are currently arranged as an office.  The offices are let on flexible terms. There is potential for formalisation of this arrangement with the tenant or for achieving Vacant Possession.  

The first floor layout is as a residential flat and therefore, there is great potential for conversion back to residential use in future (subject to necessary planning consents).
