A Flintshire town-centre property combining accommodation, a gym and rental income is being offered for £950,000.

Hereford House, on The Square in Caerwys, is being marketed as a mixed-use investment opportunity with several existing income streams.

The property includes a main house, a commercial unit, a six-bedroom Airbnb, resident accommodation and a separate one-bedroom cottage.

The cottage is occupied by a tenant, providing rental income for the new owner.

The guide price has been set at £950,000 by J Bradburne Price.

This property is being sold with the option of furniture and equipment, allowing a buyer to continue the existing operations.

The ground-floor commercial unit is currently used as a popular martial arts and boxing gym. It has utility facilities, a toilet, showers and a kitchen area.

However, the estate agent said the unit could be suitable for other uses, subject to planning permission.

The main house has six bedrooms, each with an en-suite bathroom.

Three of the rooms also have baths.

It includes two lounge areas and a large dining kitchen that can seat up to 14 guests.

The accommodation is currently used as an Airbnb aimed at large groups.

The listing says there is potential to expand the Airbnb into part of the residential section, subject to planning permission.

A separate one-bedroom cottage forms part of the sale and has a tenant in situ.

The property also includes one-bedroom resident accommodation.

Parking is available for four vehicles, with further communal parking on The Square.

Viewing is strictly by appointment through the agent.

The owner, Russ Williams, said the building dates from the 19th century and has had several uses over time.

Mr Williams said: “The property was built in the 19th century & started off as property where drovers would stay on their way to take cattle to markets in England from North Wales."

The owner said it had also been used as a bank, sewing machine factory, restaurant and milk bar.

The current owner moved to Caerwys in 2002 after previously living at Gelli Fowler Farm, Brynford.

The property was initially arranged with the gym on the ground floor, the owner’s parents on the first floor and the owner living on the second floor.

After the owner’s father died, the owner’s mother moved out and rooms began to be prepared for Airbnb use.

The owner said groups of up to 25 people had stayed at the property from across the UK and overseas.

The gym is also operating from the building.

The owner said it can have up to 50 students training each night.

Mr Williams said: “The ground floor gym is very busy, with sometimes up to 50 students training per night."

The owner plans to move to another nearby property if a suitable building can be found.

This would provide a larger gym area and a smaller house, allowing more focus on classes alongside another gym in Wrexham city centre.

Hereford House is located before the corner shop when approaching The Square from Caerwys Hill. Further income details are available from the agent.
