Summary - Rookery Road, Handsworth, Birmingham, B21 9PU B21 9PU
1 bed 1 bath Retail Property (out of town)
Freehold two-storey building with redevelopment potential and rear parking in busy Handsworth location.
- Freehold double-fronted two-storey commercial building
A double-fronted, two-storey freehold on Rookery Road offering 1,905 sqft of commercial space and rear parking. The ground floor provides a prominent retail/office trading area with large display windows; the first floor offers multiple offices, kitchen and training/reception space accessed via an external stair. The property is in a well-used local shopping parade with strong pedestrian flow.
This building will suit investors or owner-occupiers seeking rental income or a scheme to reconfigure and extend. The layout includes reception, meeting room, main trading area, manager’s office, staff facilities, archive/safe room and generous paved yard with communal driveway access. There is clear scope to modernise interiors, replan rooms or explore mixed-use conversion subject to necessary consents.
Buyers should note material drawbacks: the neighbourhood is in a very deprived area with recorded high crime levels, windows have external security bars, and parts of the property require refurbishment. Heating descriptions are mixed in the paperwork (electric panel heaters/Economy 7 and references to a gas boiler) — confirm actual systems on inspection. Ground-floor lawful use is recorded as A2, which limits permitted uses without planning changes. EPC is C (59).
For the right purchaser this is a value-led opportunity: freehold ownership, sizeable footprint on a busy road, rear parking and redevelopment potential. Factor in refurbishment, security improvements and any planning work into acquisition costs and yield expectations.
