For investors seeking a truly rare opportunity in Cowes, this standout mixed-use property offers long-term income, high visibility, and a prime main street location. Properties of this size and prominence in Cowes' tightly held main street simply do not come to market often.

The ground floor features two commercial tenancies: a large shopfront, soon to be vacant, with prominent street frontage, generous open-plan layout, rear storeroom, roller door access, and staff facilities, perfectly suited to lease as a caf, restaurant, retail venture, showroom, or creative studio. The second tenancy is securely leased to a long-established local restaurant, providing immediate income from day one.
