Freehold mixed-use building with immediate rental income
Ground-floor retail: wide glazed frontage, modern timber-floors fit-out
Rear loading access via Corn Street car park
Studio flat let on AST; upper flats on 999-year leases
Period stone facade, high ceilings, strong town-centre character
No private garden; small plot and urban street views only
Medium flood risk and very high local crime rates

Situated on a prominent Bath street, this freehold mixed-use building offers immediate rental income and straightforward asset management. The ground and lower-ground commercial unit benefits from a wide glazed frontage, modern fit-out and rear loading access from Corn Street car park—features that support continued retail or service use.
Above the shop is a self-contained studio currently let on an Assured Shorthold Tenancy, providing additional income and letting flexibility. The building is stone-elevated with high ceilings and period character, attractive to tenants and customers in this cosmopolitan, student-and-commuter neighbourhood.
Buyers should note material considerations: the property sits in an area with very high recorded crime and a medium flood risk. Broadband speeds are slow, and there is no private outdoor space. Parts of the residential accommodation and kitchen are compact and described as basic or dated, so some refurbishment may be required to maximise returns.
Overall this is a city-centre investment with immediate income, scope to enhance rental value through targeted improvements, and long leasehold stability on the upper-floor flats (999-year leases). It will suit an investor or small portfolio buyer comfortable managing central-urban risks and modest upgrade works.
