This mid-terrace Victorian retail unit with a self-contained first-floor flat is offered freehold and ready for an investor seeking immediate income. The flat is currently tenanted, providing an instant revenue stream while the ground floor trades from a double-fronted shop with roller shutter and display window. The premises are described in good, functional condition and benefit from separate access to the flat, heating and basic kitchen and WC facilities.
The property sits in a central Cavendish Street position with high pedestrian visibility and proximity to a town centre car park — useful for customer access. The accommodation is compact (approximately 330 sqft overall) and arranged as a main shop/office area with two side rooms, a small kitchen and WC; the first-floor flat comprises two bedrooms, kitchen and shower room. Current rateable value for the commercial element is £6,200 and the flat is in Council Tax Band A.
Buyers should weigh the clear investment potential against material local challenges. The area is classified as very deprived with very high crime levels, which can affect long-term rental values, tenant turnover and daytime/night-time trading. The plot and internal space are modest, limiting larger retail uses but suiting small businesses, local services or continued mixed commercial/residential use.
For a purchaser targeting yield or a hands-on redevelopment, the property offers characterful Victorian frontage and a central trading position at an accessible price point. It is best suited to an investor or small business owner comfortable operating in a constrained urban market and factoring in local socio-economic risks when setting rent and management strategy.
