A substantial freehold corner plot on Soundwell Road offering 2,648 sq ft of flexible mixed-use space and a large rear hardstanding/parking area. The ground floor is arranged as two retail units (takeaway and café) with ancillary space above; the site is sold with vacant possession and scope for income while redevelopment options are explored.
This is a clear development-led opportunity for an experienced investor or developer. An application to convert the building to five flats (P25/00846/F) was refused in June 2025; alternative mixed‑use schemes and rear extensions are suggested as possible routes, but no residential planning is currently granted and any scheme will require the necessary consents.
Practical sale details affect purchasers: the lot is offered at live online auction with an eight-week completion period, a buyer’s premium of £1,800 (inc. VAT) and an expired EPC. The property requires maintenance and updating; buyers should rely on the legal pack for full services, rights and restrictions before bidding.
For those able to manage planning risk, the prominent roadside profile, large plot and off-street parking create genuine scope for rental income or a redevelopment profit. Familiarity with local planning and auction processes will be essential to realise that potential.
