A three-storey property containing both commercial and residential units is being marketed for offers in the region of £345,000 in Whitehaven.
Situated at 26 Lowther Street, the building is of traditional block construction beneath a pitched slate roof.
The ground floor comprises a self-contained commercial unit currently operating as a barber shop, as well as a separate office space that is presently vacant.
According to the listing, the barber shop is accessed from the front of the building, with an additional exit door leading onto Church Street.
The unit includes an open sales area, a storage room, a basin, and a WC.
The adjacent office, described as having its own access, was most recently let as an office but is currently not in use.
According to estimates, the rental value for this space is £300 per month.
A separate entrance on Church Street leads to two residential flats above. The first floor flat, known as 63 Church Street, contains one bedroom, a living room, a bathroom and a kitchen.
The second floor flat, 64 Church Street, has two bedrooms and is accessed via internal stairs.
This flat features a landing, living room, bathroom and kitchen.
Both the residential units are currently vacant.
According to the listing, the first floor flat “could achieve up to £500 per month” in rent, while the two-bedroom flat above could obtain up to £800 per month.
The estate agent suggest these could suit lettings for Sellafield contractors.
