Ludlow restaurant with modern two-bed flat on the market for less than £400,000

Formerly the site of Baker's cafe and restaurant, the Grade-II listed Tower Street building dates back to the 15th century. Though its medieval character has been retained through its wealth of timberwork, the property is modern and "well-presented".

The quaint coffee shop spans the ground floor and basement, and has an "attractive" decked roof terrace and sky-lit conservatory for guests.

It also comes with a modern two-bedroom flat, which can be accessed through a separate entrance and takes up two floors. It has a kitchen and lounge area, two "generously sized" bedrooms, and a bathroom. The part-commercial, part-residential property is being sold by Halls estate agents for offers in the region of £375,000.

The listing reads: "The property is prominently located fronting onto Tower Street in the town centre of the sought after town of Ludlow. Tower Street serves as one of the main retail streets in the town centre of Ludlow with surrounding occupiers including Costa, Boots, Oxfam, Joules and Nationwide. The property is located within proximity of public car parks and all the local amenities serving the town of Ludlow.
