Summary - 38, NEWNHAM STREET MK40 3JR
1 bed 1 bath Commercial Property
Café-ready premises with upper flat, ideal for income-minded buyers.
Ground-floor open-plan unit fitted as restaurant/café
A large Victorian mixed-use property on Newnham Street offering immediate commercial potential and upper-floor residential income. The ground floor is laid out as an open-plan restaurant/café with kitchen, WC facilities and a planned new shop front — ready for a food operator or alternative retail use. Above sits a self-contained residential flat described in the listing as two bedrooms (one field lists one bedroom; confirm exact bedroom count before offer). A residential tenant currently occupies the flat, providing immediate rental income but restricting vacant possession options.
Practical advantages include a small fenced yard for storage or deliveries, gas connection and proximity to a multi-storey car park and frequent public transport. The neighbourhood blends established renting families with nearby student areas, giving broad demand for both commercial footfall and rental housing. Broadband is average and mobile signal is excellent; flood risk is nil and local crime levels are very low.
Important considerations: tenure is unspecified and tenancy details are not provided, so buyers should verify leases, rental income and possession terms. The property may need cosmetic updating to suit a new occupier and the commercial unit will require fit-out if not taking on the current restaurant fit-out. Small plot size and urban location limit expansion potential. Overall this is best suited to investors or owner-occupiers seeking a town-centre trading unit with an income-producing flat above.
