Freehold village shop with corner frontage and vacant possession.
Freehold retail unit, 666 sq ft ground floor
A rare freehold retail opportunity in the heart of Redbourn, offered with vacant possession and versatile Class E use. The ground-floor unit extends to 666 sq ft with a prominent corner position on the main High Street, large display windows and direct pavement access that benefit from steady pedestrian passing trade in a very affluent, commuter village.
The property is Grade II listed — an attractive period frontage but one that brings planning and alteration constraints. The first-floor residential element has been sold on a 999-year lease, so the sale covers the ground-floor retail freehold only; this limits scope for altering upper parts. The shop footprint is modest with a relatively narrow frontage and rear ancillary space comprising kitchenette and WC.
Suitable for an independent retailer or service operator and also appealing to investors seeking a freehold in a sought-after village location. Practical positives include vacant possession, fast broadband, excellent mobile signal and no VAT payable. Material drawbacks: listed status may restrict changes and refurbishment, limited floor area and separate leasehold residential upper parts.
