A rare mixed-use freehold on Boundary Road offering a ground-floor retail/office unit plus a self-contained two-bedroom maisonette above. The property is offered with vacant possession and includes a private circa 20-metre rear garden — a valuable amenity for town-centre accommodation. Total floor area circa 1,425 sq ft (519 sq ft retail, 906 sq ft maisonette).
Location suits investors or an owner-occupier who wants to run a business below and live above. Boundary Road is a busy local high street of independent retailers and steady pedestrian footfall, supporting retail or small office uses. The maisonette has standard-height rooms, fitted kitchen, bathroom and two first/second-floor bedrooms, with loft storage.
There is clear renovation and uplift potential: the building dates from 1930–49, has an older rendered shopfront and evidence of exterior wear. EPCs are mid-range (C-61 retail, D-62 maisonette); glazing was installed before 2002 and the walls are solid brick (assumed uninsulated). These factors suggest retrofit work could improve energy efficiency and rental/value uplift.
Practical positives include vacant possession, mains gas heating (boiler and radiators), fast broadband and excellent mobile signal. Material negatives to budget for: façade and external repairs, likely internal modernisation, potential insulation/cavity work, and the shop’s dated appearance. Freehold guide price: £450,000.
