- Ground-floor retail unit with active barbershop fit-out
- First floor large room; potential studio flat subject to permissions
- Long leasehold: 848 years remaining

A compact, stone-fronted mid-terrace commercial unit on North Street with strong daytime footfall and excellent visibility. The ground floor is fitted out as a functioning barbershop with a rear room, toilet and shower; the first floor offers a large ancillary room and a separate toilet. Long lease (848 years) and a low asking price present a clear short-term purchase opportunity for cash buyers.
This property suits investors or owner-occupiers looking for a hands-on project: there is obvious potential to retain or re-let the ground-floor retail and to convert the upper floor into a studio flat or office (subject to planning and building regulations). Mains gas central heating and double glazing are present, though installation dates are unknown; the building is a 1900–1929 sandstone terrace, likely without cavity insulation.
Buyers should factor in conversion costs, compliance works and the local context. The area records high crime and very high deprivation indices, which affects tenant demand and pricing but also keeps purchase prices low. Sale is for cash buyers only; inspect and obtain survey and planning advice before offer.
For the right investor this is a low-entry, high-potential unit in a busy commercial parade — suitable for an operator wanting immediate trading space or an investor prepared to carry refurbishment and letting work.
