A unique opportunity to own commercial property in the busiest area of Bathurst, adjacent to the Pig n Whistle Inn.
Business units include a trading store, with a liquor licence and housing the post-office, fondly remembered as the Cecil Dewey Hall. Next to the trading store on the Pig n Whistle side, is a large office with a kitchenette.
With a separate entrance/driveway, next to the trading store is a lovely Settler style two-bedroom cottage.
Behind the cottage are five flats - one is a one-bedroom flat with a full bathroom, lounge/kitchenette and a utility room, while the other four are bedsitters with their own bathroom. A garage and laundry area are found next to the flats.
All buildings and flats utilise water from a borehole with ample water.
This offering comprises of two erf - one is zoned commercial, while the other one is zoned residential. The residential erf of 1639 square metres runs behind the Pig n Whistle Inn, the shops and the two-bedroom cottage, and this is where the five flatlets are found. There is an entrance to the flats next to the shop, as well as access via the R67 behind the Pig and Whistle Inn. The empty land behind the units would ideally be suited for additional units or parking/recreational areas for the units, a park, or gardens. The size of the commercial property is 1042 square metres. Combined the two properties are 2581 square metres - in the centre of town.
All buildings and flats are rented out, so this is an ideal opportunity for those wishing to garner an income while maintaining your original investment.
Bathurst is approximately 12 kilometres inland from Port Alfred, on the R67 road, in the Eastern Cape. Its chief claim to fame is that it was the early administrative centre established by the British Government for the 1820 British Settlers who were sent to the district as a buffer between the Cape Colony and the Xhosa pastoralists who were migrating southwards and westwards along the coast. Bathurst is now part of the Ndlambe Local Municipality.
Many original settler houses and other buildings have been preserved, and there remains much of the look and feel of an English village of the early 19th century.
Bathurst has an eclectic mix of farmers, artists, those seeking a more peaceful lifestyle, academics and retirees.
The Pig and Whistle Inn, at the heart of the village, is reputedly the oldest extant pub in the country, built in 1821 by Thomas Hartley.
