This compact high‑street unit on London Road offers immediate town‑centre exposure and strong footfall potential for a small retail, clinic or office operator. The ground floor benefits from two attractive bay windows that maximise natural light and provide excellent display visibility to passing pedestrians and vehicles. Nearby public car parks and dense local amenities make the location convenient for customers and staff.
Internally the ground floor (573 sq ft) is currently partitioned into three treatment rooms but can be reinstated as an open‑plan retail/office area; a basement provides ancillary kitchen, WC and storeroom. The building’s Victorian character and sound external condition give a positive first impression, while fast broadband and excellent mobile signal support digital-first or appointment-based businesses.
Buyers should note the unit’s modest size and town‑centre terraced layout, which limit storage, servicing and loading options compared with larger or purpose-built commercial properties. The tenure is not specified and internal condition has not been surveyed — prospective purchasers should allow for potential reconfiguration costs and a formal inspection. Crime levels in the area are above average, which may influence insurance and security requirements.
Overall this is a straightforward, flexible small commercial opportunity in an affluent, well‑served part of St Albans. It will suit an investor, an owner‑occupier seeking a compact high‑street presence, or a specialist occupier needing visible frontage and easy customer access.
