Summary - 12, HIGH STREET CM14 4AE
1 bed 1 bath Retail Property (high street)
Large versatile commercial premises with private parking and strong town‑centre footfall.
Grade II listed late 18th‑century character building
A prominent Grade II listed high‑street building in central Brentwood, this substantial late 18th‑century property extends to about 4,900 sq ft over basement, ground, first and second floors. The ground floor has a strong glazed shopfront and is currently fitted out as a banking branch; upper floors offer offices, training rooms and staff facilities. A private rear car park for up to ten vehicles is a rare town‑centre asset that supports customer access or staff parking.
The location delivers reliable town‑centre footfall and transport links: Brentwood station (Elizabeth Line) is within a ten‑minute walk and the A12/M25 are a short drive away. The High Street benefits from national and independent retailers, cafés and restaurants, which helps sustain passing trade for retail or leisure operators. Broadband and mobile connectivity are both strong, and the area is affluent with a professionally qualified local demographic.
Buyers should note the building’s Grade II listing. Listed status preserves historic character but will restrict alterations and can complicate change of use or major refurbishment. Planning advice is recommended: the premises fall within Class E uses, but prospective occupiers must verify suitability for specific commercial activities. The property is offered freehold with vacant possession or on a new full repairing and insuring lease by agreement.
Overall this is a substantial, well‑located town‑centre asset suitable for a single occupier or potential subdivision. It will particularly suit investors or businesses seeking a prominent, characterful presence on Brentwood High Street, provided they are comfortable working within the constraints and costs of a listed building.
