Ground floor fish and chip shop with prep kitchen and store
Separate first‑floor two‑bed apartment with independent rear access

Change of use to residential possible subject to planning
A versatile mixed‑use freehold in central Leek, offering ground‑floor commercial space and a two‑bed flat above with independent access. The shop was a fish and chip takeaway until recently and includes a prep kitchen, store, WC and enclosed rear yard — equipment is available by separate negotiation. The apartment has a contemporary kitchen, living room, bathroom and two bedrooms; double glazing and gas central heating are already installed.
This property suits investors or owner‑operators: live above and run the business below, let both units separately, or explore change‑of‑use to increase residential return (subject to planning). Its city‑centre location gives easy access to local amenities, schools rated Good, supermarkets and public transport links.
Be realistic about drawbacks: the retail interior is dated and will need modernising for many operators, and the area records higher crime and relative deprivation compared with wider averages. Plot size is small and external space is limited to a paved courtyard. The building is Victorian and may require ongoing maintenance typical of older properties.
Offered chain‑free, this is a straightforward purchase for a buyer seeking an income stream or a hands‑on small business opportunity with redevelopment upside. A viewing will clarify scope for refurbishment, rents and any planning changes.
