A substantial freehold on London Road North offering immediate trading space plus residential potential upstairs. The 1,320 sq ft ground floor provides a large, visible retail frontage with rear kitchenette, WC and storage — ready for retail, office, studio or clinical use. The building sits on a busy high street with regular footfall and excellent transport links to Lowestoft train and bus stations.
The first floor comprises three rooms currently described as bedrooms and could serve as owner accommodation, rental income, or be reconfigured into a self-contained flat subject to planning. The property’s split-level layout and rear access increase functional flexibility for multi-use occupation or conversion.
Important practical points are clear: the surrounding area is classified as very deprived with very high recorded crime, and the plot is small with no visible private garden. Any change of use or full residential conversion will require planning approval and possible refurbishment. The property is offered freehold at a price reflecting both the central, high-footfall location and the need for onward investment.
This is a pragmatic opportunity for investors or owner-occupiers seeking a prominent, multi-use freehold in Lowestoft — particularly those comfortable operating in a high-street environment and factoring refurbishment or planning into their business case.
