A highly prominent freehold retail building on Bridge Street in central Stratford-upon-Avon, offered with vacant possession. The property provides an exceptional ground-floor retail frontage plus extensive upper floors and basement, totalling approximately 1,451.71 m² (15,626 ft²). Its central location delivers strong pedestrian and vehicular visibility close to major retailers and tourist footfall.
The building spans four storeys with two goods lifts and an external yard and access. Services include mains electricity and water; EPC rating C (69). The site is versatile for continued single-occupier retail use, conversion to multiple commercial units, or mixed-use reconfiguration subject to planning (currently Class E).
Key investment considerations: current Rateable Value £144,000 (high business rates liability), VAT not applicable at present, and the freehold is sold with vacant possession. The property sits in an affluent town centre but recorded local crime levels are very high — relevant for security and insurance costs. Buyers should allow for reconfiguration and potential remedial works given the building’s size and historic fabric.
This opportunity suits investors or owner-occupiers seeking a large, flexible town-centre asset with immediate retail presence and redevelopment potential. All purchasers must verify services, planning, and running costs independently and carry out on-site inspections before commitment.
