Buy-to-let opportunity with dual retail units and first-floor storage near major retailers.
Corner high-street plot with strong pedestrian footfall
Set on a busy corner of Scunthorpe’s main shopping parade, this substantial end-terrace commercial building offers clear income and occupational flexibility. The ground floor provides two self-contained retail units with large glazed frontages that attract strong footfall from national and local traders. A separate first-floor entrance leads to additional office or storage accommodation, increasing lettable area and conversion options. The property extends to c.2,995 sq ft and is offered at £550,000.
The building dates from the 1980s with brick construction and standard ceiling heights, making it straightforward to maintain but limiting for high-ceilinged conversions. There is practical rear access via a service road and parking for about 2–3 vehicles — useful for loading and tenants. Current occupiers include gaming and betting operators, demonstrating steady retail demand for this location.
Buyers should note several material considerations. Tenure is not stated, so legal and title checks are required. The immediate area is classified as very deprived with very high recorded crime levels, which will influence tenant mix, insurance and management costs. The plot is small, so expansion potential on site is limited. These factors temper rental expectations but also present scope for asset management or repositioning if you target resilient retail or service operators.
