A recently modernised Victorian building situated on the popular and vibrant Handcross High Street providing a superb ground floor showroom and office together with a totally self contained three bedroom, two bathroom modern apartment above with its own private courtyard garden.
The property has in recent years been used as a vintage car showroom on the ground floor, the showroom has been improved with the addition of a private office, kitchenette and WC. The kerb has been dropped at the roadside to give easy access for vehicles directly into the front of the showroom.
The ground floor has a panoramic glass frontage onto the high street and with the relevant planning consents perhaps could be converted into two units to maximise the rental income.
The first floor is a completely self contained three bedroom modern apartment with the main bedroom having a ensuite shower room.
There are two further double bedrooms, a family bathroom and the living area has an open aspect into the kitchen/breakfast room.
Off the hallway is a separate dining area. The apartment has its own access and has been rented successfully to provide an income over the last year of around £18,000.
Currently we feel the rental for the apartment would be around £1700 per calendar month and the showroom would fetch circa £1500 per calendar month.
Outside
The building has access into a pretty rear courtyard and there is a laundry room with power, light and plumbing.
We feel this is a lovely opportunity for an investor or business owner looking for a property with accommodation above or those that are looking for a diversified portfolio of part commercial and residential rental incomes.
The High Street offers a range of shops, amenities, primary school and recreation ground. The renowned National Trust Nymans Gardens (residents can apply for a pass) is at the southern edge of the village and the A23 is close at hand providing a direct route to the motorway network and nearby Gatwick Airport (10.3 miles). Haywards Heath lies 7.2 miles to the east, Crawley 4.6 miles to the north and Horsham 6.5 miles to the west, all of which offer a comprehensive range of shops, array of restaurants, leisure facilities and a mainline railway station.
