Retail premises for sale

High Street, Wick, Highland. KW1

Yvonne Fitzgerald is delighted to bring to the market this excellent property portfolio in a prime trading location in Wick town centre. This opportunity comprises of a former café which has a commercial fitted kitchen as well as two rental apartments. The café has a good shop frontage onto the main street and comprises a seating area, a commercial kitchen, a storage area, food prep room as well as a chiller and toilets. Although in need of some minor internal works, it would not take much to get the property to a standard so it could trade again. To the right of the shop frontage is a gate which leads to two garages, although there is only parking for one car.

The flats are in good decorative order and consist of a tastefully decorated one bed apartment as well as a spacious and bright two bedroomed flat. The apartments are accessed through a communal door to the rear of the property with the one-bedroom flat being on the second floor. Both flats offer superb views over the harbour and are ideally located just off the pedestrian precinct.
As the owners are retiring, after owning the buildings for a long number of years, it is their wish that the properties are sold as one lot.

This is an excellent opportunity to own a commercial outlet in a prime location and gain rental income either by way of air b n b, or long-term rent.
