In Wellington, a part-let town centre commercial investment property has a freehold guide of £100,000 plus.
The ground floor, which is now vacant, has most recently been used as pub. The first and second floors of the three storey building are currently let as office accommodation.
Auction Appraiser James Lofthouse said: “This property is located in a prime position in the centre of the attractive Somerset market town of Wellington.
“It has potential for conversion or into multiple units, subject to all necessary consents being obtainable.”
The property’s first and second floors are let to the same tenant at £5,000 per annum.
It is being auctioned jointly with Miller Commercial.
In Glastonbury, The Armoury has a freehold guide of £65,000. A mid-terrace cottage (pictured), it has been in the same ownership for many years.
Audrey Smith said: “Interest is likely to come from builders with a view to re-sale post-works, those who may envisage improvement of the current accommodation, subject to all necessary consents being obtainable, and others simply wishing to create a desirable family home.”
The Armoury is being auctioned in arrangement with Tor Estates.
