This freehold fish and chip takeaway sits on Bristol Road South (A38) in Northfield, a busy trading corridor with strong passing footfall and nearby national retailers. The ground-floor commercial unit includes cooking equipment, extraction, walk-in cold room and a rear yard with parking for up to five vehicles. Above is a self-contained three-bedroom flat, providing either owner-occupation or rental income potential.
The property is offered with fixtures and fittings included, though the equipment has not been tested and should be inspected and certified before use. The premises are currently not trading, which allows a purchaser to re-open quickly or re-purpose the unit for alternative takeaway cuisines. On-site parking and good transport links (A38, close to M42/M5) are practical advantages for an operator.
Important constraints: the advertised lease option is short (20 years) and lenders may refuse standard mortgages on the leasehold interest — this materially affects financing for many buyers. The area records higher crime levels and local deprivation, factors that could influence staffing, security costs and customer perceptions. EPC ratings are D for the shop and E for the flat; building fabric appears to be solid brick with no assumed wall insulation, so energy upgrade costs may be needed.
Suited to experienced caterers, investors used to managing urban trading locations, or buyers able to purchase freehold with cash or alternative finance. Carrying out full equipment testing, safety checks, and confirming financing options should be priority pre-purchase tasks.
