This ground-floor lock-up on Palatine Road offers a compact, flexible high-street presence suited to small retailers, local services or buy-to-let investors. The unit includes two trading areas (front and rear), a kitchenette, WC and staff/store space — a practical layout for single use or split tenancy. Its direct street frontage, glazed shopfront and steel roller shutter deliver immediate customer visibility and secure access.
The property is leasehold (100 years from March 2019; c.94 years remaining). Annual ground rent is nominal at £5 and a service charge applies at 4.545% of works carried out to the whole site, payable quarterly — factors that should be considered in yield calculations and operational budgets.
Condition is serviceable but largely cosmetic: suspended ceilings, fluorescent lighting, laminate flooring, slatwall fixtures and a built-in counter remain, yet parts of the interior (notably a 1980s hallway with exposed wiring and dated panelling) require modernization and attention to fire-safety and electrical finishes. No outside space; street views only.
For buyers seeking a small, affordable entry into Northenden’s high street market, this unit represents a visible, well-positioned opportunity. It suits an owner-occupier retailer, local service provider or investor prepared to refurbish to modern standards and manage the leasehold charges.
