31 William Benton Street, Featherston, South Wairarapa

Opportunities seldom arise to purchase commercial property as appealing as this very charming property in Featherston. Being located on the main street affords it a high profile and the benefit of excellent exposure to the large volume of SH2 traffic. Currently occupied by an established boutique retailer, and surrounded by destination retail and hospitality venues, the property can rightfully claim ownership of one of Featherstons most desirable commercial addresses. The villa-esque building showcases features characteristic of its style including high stud ceilings, polished timber floors and signature bay window. A very workable, street facing, commercial space at the front connects to self-contained and comfortable living at rear. Making up the residence is a good-sized kitchen, bathroom and large open plan dining-lounge extending through bi-fold doors into a private, sunny courtyard. There are two double bedrooms and one single which might also be used as an office. Of the two larger bedrooms, one provides a second entrance to the shop front enabling the property's commercial footprint to be easily extended if required. The ceilings are insulated and a heatpump recently installed. The low maintenance but attractive grounds with raised potager gardens complement the building and offer the convenience of two off-street carparks with one paved and supplied with water and power making it the perfect site for a food or coffee cart. The property is tenanted, but with the lease expiring early next year there is the option of either re-leasing and retaining it as an investment with excellent potential for both yield and capital growth, or using it as an awesome place to live and establish and run a successful business. The sale of this much admired property is by tender. Tender documents and additional information are available on request and viewings by arrangement.
