85 Fore St 3,828 sq ft Retail Property Bodmin PL31 2JB £330,000 (£86.21/sq ft)

Located in the heart of Bodmin town centre, 85 Fore Street is a substantial detached mixed-use property incorporating a prominent ground floor retail unit together with extensive accommodation above. Arranged over four floors, the property occupies a central position and benefits from a large front car park and a private rear garden, presenting a rare and versatile opportunity within this well-connected town centre location.
The building offers highly flexible internal accommodation suitable for a variety of uses including commercial, residential, live/work or investment purposes, subject to the necessary consents. The layout currently comprises a former ground floor retail unit alongside multiple reception, office and studio rooms, together with two kitchens, two bathrooms and several WC facilities, providing significant scope for reconfiguration.
The lower ground floor consists of a cellar level which benefits from natural light and direct access to the rear garden. This level offers useful ancillary space suitable for storage, workshops or further accommodation.
At ground floor level the property includes the main retail unit, accessed from Fore Street, with an inner hallway connecting to staircases leading to both the first floor and the lower ground floor. The retail accommodation is supported by additional shop space, office areas, workshops and a dressing room, allowing for a wide range of commercial uses. This floor also includes a kitchen, WC facilities and a utility room.
The first floor provides particularly generous accommodation and can be accessed both internally and directly from street level. This level comprises a landing, several rooms, a kitchen, a bathroom and a separate shower room. A soundproofed studio room further enhances the property's versatility, making it suitable for creative, professional or studio-based work.
The second floor includes a converted attic room which could be used as an additional bedroom, office or studio space.
Externally, the property benefits from a large front car park — a valuable asset within a town centre location. To the rear there is a private garden featuring a pond and offering potential for landscaping to create an attractive outdoor space.
Bodmin provides a wide range of amenities including shops, restaurants and schools, with convenient access to the A30 and A38, offering strong connectivity across Cornwall.
A planning application has been submitted for the conversion of the building into nine flats (Ref: PA20/08180) and is currently awaiting decision. Offered freehold, the property represents a compelling opportunity for investors, developers or owner-occupiers seeking a flexible property with strong potential in a central Cornish location.
