Qualifies for small business rate relief, lowering initial running costs

Set in Gainsborough town centre close to Marshall’s Yard and national retailers, this freehold shop offers a straightforward commercial purchase for an investor or owner-operator. The ground-floor provides a large, flexible sales area with a glass frontage and good natural footfall potential from surrounding amenities and public transport links.
Upstairs there are two store rooms and a single bathroom, providing basic back-of-house storage and staff facilities. The property qualifies for small business rate relief, which reduces operating costs for eligible purchasers. Total internal area is approximately 787 sq ft, built c.1930–1949, with solid brick walls and standard ceiling heights.
Practical considerations include electric storage heaters as the main heating and assumed solid brick walls with no insulation, which may increase running costs and mean improvement work is needed. The building appears in a very deprived area with a very high local crime rate, factors that could affect long-term footfall and security costs.
This is a value-driven opportunity for a buyer willing to invest in refurbishment and security improvements. The freehold tenure is attractive, but tenure details are listed as unknown and should be confirmed. Suitable for small retail, specialist trade, or an investor seeking town-centre commercial exposure.
