Three-storey Victorian investment: shop let until 2025 with two flats above.
- Income-producing mixed-use: retail plus two flats
A substantial three‑storey Victorian mixed‑use building offered freehold as an income-producing investment. The ground floor is trading as a barbers on a lease that expires 21 December 2025; the upper floors comprise two separately accessed two‑bed flats, creating a simple retail-plus-residential income mix. High ceilings, period bay windows and a high‑street frontage add character and tenant appeal.
The property extends to about 2,104 sq ft and sits on a narrow town‑centre plot with no visible garden. It benefits from excellent mobile signal and fast broadband, suitable for modern occupiers. The location on a busy parade ensures footfall for the retail unit but also places the building in an area classed as very deprived with a very high local crime rate — important for rental risk assessment and insurance costs.
Key practical notes: tenure is listed as unknown and there are no internal photographs or floorplans provided, so buyers should arrange a full survey and tenancy schedule. The shop lease expiry in late 2025 gives a medium-term re-letting or redevelopment option for an incoming owner. This property is best suited to investors comfortable with urban high‑street holdings who can manage tenant turnover and area-related risk.
