A rare mixed-use freehold on Aylestone Road offering a ground-floor commercial unit with a self-contained one-bedroom flat above. The building has strong high-street frontage, off-street parking for two cars and a private rear yard — useful for a small business owner or landlord seeking immediate trading visibility.
The first-floor maisonette is compact and functional: one double bedroom, lounge, kitchen and shower room. The commercial space is open-plan with separate WC and back-room, totalling approximately 560 sq ft. The property is chain free and can be sold with vacant possession, making it straightforward for owner-occupiers or investors to take control quickly.
Important practical points: the building dates from c.1900–1929 with solid brick walls (likely no cavity insulation), double glazing of unknown age and gas central heating via boiler and radiators. The area has fast broadband and good local amenities but records higher-than-average crime and very deprived neighbourhood scores. There is a high flood risk for this postcode, which will affect insurance and long-term resilience.
This suits buyers seeking rental income or an owner-operator who wants a shop plus living space. Expect some maintenance and potential refurbishment to modernise thermal insulation and interior finishes before maximising rental or resale value.
