A substantial Victorian mixed-use freehold in Highbridge town centre, offering a ground-floor shopfront with deep plan commercial space and residential accommodation above. The building includes sizeable basements, workshops and stores, plus an enclosed rear garden — giving scope for home-and-income arrangements or a multi-unit conversion (subject to planning).
The property is best suited to an investor or developer prepared to manage a town-centre refurbishment. Services are present (mains gas, electric, water, drainage) and there is good broadband and mobile coverage. The substantial internal footprint and high ceilings preserve period character and create flexible layout options for flats, extended living space or commercial re-use.
Buyers should note material drawbacks: the area records very high crime and very high deprivation, and the building will require internal inspection and likely refurbishment works to modernise accommodation and meet current standards. Any change of use or subdivision would need necessary planning consents. These factors reduce immediate rental premium but increase long-term value for the right buyer willing to invest in improvement.
