Summary - 18 - 20 ST JOHN STREET NEWPORT PAGNELL MK16 8HJ
1 bed 1 bath Retail Property (high street)
Large multi-unit freehold in central Newport Pagnell with parking and redevelopment potential..
Freehold high-street building totalling 3,616 sqft (L-shaped Georgian layout)
A substantial freehold high-street building in the heart of Newport Pagnell, offered with vacant possession and flexible unit layouts. The L-shaped Georgian property totals 3,616 sqft across multi-storey accommodation and can be split into up to four commercial units (732 / 1,173 / 861 / 850 sqft) or purchased as larger combined spaces. Two units have direct St Johns Street frontage; two sit to the rear with access to a communal courtyard and quieter working space. Each unit includes one off-street parking space and there is additional free parking nearby for customers.
The ground floor benefits from Use Class E, suitable for a wide range of commercial uses (retail, health & beauty, office, food & beverage), while three upper floors already have residential dwellings above. There are plans drawn by the owner for a residential maisonette and scope to pursue full C3 planning for further residential conversion, subject to planning permission (STPP). The property was previously a well-regarded restaurant and has been vacant for several years, presenting a blank canvas for a buyer prepared to refurbish and modernise.
Practical considerations are clear: the building has an EPC rating of D, sits in a medium flood-risk zone, and the local area records above-average crime levels. The property will require investment to bring commercial and residential elements up to contemporary standards, and any residential conversion beyond current arrangements needs planning approval. For investors or owner-occupiers seeking long-term upside in a historic market town with strong transport links and local amenities, this offers flexible income and redevelopment potential.
