This attractive freehold commercial property is prominently positioned in the heart of Maldon's busy High Street, offering an excellent opportunity for owner-occupiers or investors alike. Previously trading as a well-established Italian restaurant, the premises benefit from strong visibility and consistent footfall, surrounded by a vibrant mix of independent traders and well-known retail names.
The ground floor provides a fully fitted restaurant space accommodating approximately 38 covers, together with a commercial kitchen and customer facilities, making it ideally suited to continued hospitality use. Character features, including exposed beams, help create a welcoming and traditional atmosphere that has proved popular with both locals and visitors.
Arranged over the upper floors is a self-contained two-bedroom flat, accessed via its own private entrance. This additional accommodation offers excellent flexibility, whether as an income-producing rental, owner-occupier accommodation, or alternative use subject to the necessary consents.
