Queenscliff 45 Hesse Street

Early in Queenscliff's history; when the coastal fishing village was booming, Councilor William Craig saw the value and potential in the town. One of various other properties that he owned, including Athelstane House, a bake house in Hobson Street and his private cottage nearby, William built the town's general store on the corner or Hesse and Hobson streets in 1863. Surprisingly little change was seen in the use of the building over the following 150 years and now, you have the rare opportunity to embark on your own commercial venture in this iconic building.

Positioned in a prime location opposite the renowned Vue Grand Hotel and Post Office, 45 Hesse Street has remarkable commercial viability that is only further enhanced by the space available both inside and out. Secure rear entry with double gate access to the service door provides for easy delivery of goods to the premises as well as additional storage.

Original floorboards, a substantial cellar, classic high ceilings and period fixtures are abundant throughout. The large 'showroom' enjoys an uninterrupted view of the main township with a mass of windows on the north and west facing walls. 3 smaller rooms plus additional storage rooms, a kitchenette and office are also available providing an endless array of possibilities for your business and how you might best utilise the space.

Ideally suited to retail ventures with excellent exposure, loads of passing foot traffic and the chance to really capitalise on the tourist trade, there is money to be made in the purchase of this building that also has the secure roots of history to ensure its value in years to come.

Also available as a leasehold, you can reap the benefit of size and location without the initial expense of purchase which may be more suited to your business needs.

One thing is certain though, the popularity, property values and demand for this prestigious seaside haven will only increase with time so your investment in such a unique opportunity is sure to be a sound one all round.
