This mixed-use corner property on Anchor Road offers a strong income/owner-occupier opportunity in the heart of Barrow Island’s main shopping parade. The ground floor has a prominent shopfront with large display windows and an almost finished café/food outlet at the rear — useful for an operator or rental reconfiguration. The first-floor flat provides two bedrooms, a kitchen/diner and bathroom, sold with vacant possession and as freehold.
The building needs updating and some finishing works: the café area requires completion, the residential accommodation needs modernising, and overall refurbishment is reflected in the asking price. There is some double glazing and central heating already in place, but buyers should budget for full cosmetic and systems updates. External space is limited to a small enclosed yard and there is no significant on-site parking.
For investors and landlords the property’s location on a busy footfall route, proximity to local employers (including BAE) and parade amenities support rental demand. Planning or change-of-use potential could add value, subject to consents. Note the surrounding area is classified as very deprived and the immediate neighbourhood serves social-renter demand; this brings occupational demand but also considerations for management and yields.
Practical details: freehold sale, vacant possession, council tax band A (low running tax cost). Buyers should arrange a full inspection to verify layout, services and the extent of completion work for the café before committing.
