This property sits in a prominent Victorian corner building on Queens Road, a busy town-centre location close to shops, parks and public transport. The ground-floor presents a well‑proportioned open-plan shopfront with tall windows and 180° views of the high street and Alexandra Park; storage and wash facilities are provided on the lower level. The building dates from c.1900–1929 with solid brick walls and double glazing (install date unknown). EPC rating C.
Offered for sale by Modern Method of Auction with a starting bid of £90,000 plus reservation fee, the unit is currently sold with a tenant in situ, making it suited to investors seeking immediate income. Tenure is leasehold. The property is described as having mains gas central heating via boiler and radiators and fast broadband and excellent mobile signal for modern business or lettings use.
Buyers should note clear drawbacks: the area scores as very deprived with above‑average crime and a medium flood risk. The building’s solid brick walls are assumed to have no insulation, so further energy improvements may be required. Council tax band and some service details are not provided. The property will be sold at auction and is subject to a reservation fee and the usual auction terms.
This is a straightforward pick for investors or buyers seeking a town‑centre commercial/residential opportunity with period character and immediate rental potential, provided you accept the leasehold status, local area challenges and likely need for upgrades to insulation and finishes.
