49 Fore Street offers investors a prominent freehold retail investment in the heart of Trowbridge’s pedestrianized Fore Street. The property spans 1,925 sq ft across two floors, with a functional retail ground floor and ancillary accommodation above.

A tenant break option exists at the third anniversary, backed by personal guarantees and a £7,500 rent deposit. On a guide price of £185,000, this reflects an attractive gross initial yield of approximately 13.5%.
