Victorian high-ceiling property with garage, parking and strong rental potential.
Freehold Victorian townhouse with commercial ground floor and three-bed maisonette upstairs
Extremely large footprint ~2,121 sq ft across three storeys
Includes garage, private parking space and courtyard-style garden
Sold at auction; 56-day completion and non-refundable 4.5% reservation fee applies
Buyer Information Pack fee £349 payable before bidding
Electric storage heating; likely uninsulated sandstone/limestone external walls
Double glazing installed before 2002; may require window/heating upgrades
Located in high-crime, very deprived area — affects lettings and management
Situated on a prominent stretch of The Boulevard, this three-storey Victorian mid-terrace offers a rare mixed-use investment with clear income potential. The ground floor commercial unit benefits from high-visibility frontage and flexible studio/reception spaces, while the upper maisonette provides three bedrooms, two bathrooms and generous living areas across the first and second floors.
Practical positives include a garage, private parking space, courtyard garden and a very large overall footprint (circa 2,121 sq ft). High ceilings, period bay windows and a modernised kitchen and bathrooms add curb appeal and tenant attraction. Broadband and mobile signal are strong, supporting modern lettings or a live/work setup.
Buyers should note this property is sold by auction using the Modern Method of Auction. The buyer pays a non-refundable Reservation Fee of 4.5% (minimum £6,600) plus a Buyer Information Pack fee (£349). Completion is required within 56 days — check mortgage suitability and read the pack before bidding.
There are material considerations: heating is by electric storage heaters, external walls are likely uninsulated sandstone/limestone, and double glazing dates from before 2002 — further insulation or heating upgrades may be needed. The area shows high crime levels and significant deprivation, which can affect rental values and management costs. Overall, this is a high-potential but hands-on investment for buyers prepared to manage upgrades and auction purchase costs.
