Located on Stourbridge High Street, 71 High Street is a substantial mid-terrace retail unit with prominent glazed frontage and strong daytime footfall. The property offers around 2,257 sq ft over three floors, with approximately 1,741 sq ft of flexible ground-floor retail space and ancillary accommodation above suitable for storage, office use or residential conversion.
This freehold investment suits owner-occupiers or landlords seeking immediate town-centre presence among national and independent retailers. The ground floor’s open-plan layout and medium-wide frontage provide clear merchandising potential for fashion, health & beauty, professional services or specialist retail. Upper floors (one bedroom, one bathroom indicated) offer useful staff/office space or potential short-term let conversion subject to consents.
Practicalities: vacant possession/lease terms to be agreed, rateable value £18,500 (rates payable approx. £9,231.50) and the asking price shown. The building is mid-century in character with modern shopfront and security shutter; ceiling heights are standard and the footprint is typical of a busy high-street plot.
Important considerations: the property sits in a deprived area with very high local crime statistics — an operational and insurance factor for occupiers and investors. There is no private outdoor space, and neighbouring uses include takeaways which may affect evening footfall and noise. Prospective buyers should verify specific planning and lease arrangements and allow for potential refurbishment or fit-out costs.
