This mid-20th-century mixed-use freehold presents a compact town-centre investment on St Johns Road, Clacton-on-Sea. The parade-front building comprises three long-leasehold flats above ground-floor retail units, offering immediate rental potential and strong roadside visibility. The combined internal area is approximately 2,057 sq ft, suitable for a small portfolio addition or owner-investor.
Practical advantages include a freehold title, off-street shopper parking to the front, no known flood risk, and excellent mobile signal and fast broadband — useful for letting and modern tenant expectations. The location sits adjacent to convenience retail and leisure amenities, with several Good-rated primary and secondary schools within reach, supporting renter demand from local workers and downsizers.
Material considerations are clear: the internal condition and layouts are not verified from external inspection, so refurbishment or reconfiguration may be required. The immediate area is classified as deprived with above-average local crime, which can affect tenant mix, rents and management costs. There are no private gardens and amenity space is minimal, which limits appeal for families seeking outside space.
Overall this is a straightforward, medium-sized parade investment with short-term rental prospects and longer-term value uplift potential through internal improvements, lease management or repurposing of retail space. Suitable buyers should budget for inspection, possible remedial works and active asset management given the urban setting and socio-economic profile of the area.
