Flexible Class E space with strong visibility, suited to investor or operator refurbishment.
Prominent corner position with large display windows and Bridge Street frontage
A substantial corner commercial unit on Bridge Street, offered either freehold/long leasehold or to let. The property extends to about 1,381 sq ft NIA across an open sales area, rear store and WC/kitchenette, and benefits from large display windows and excellent roadside visibility at the Bridge Street roundabout. Its current Class E designation makes it flexible for retail, café, professional services or clinic uses, appealing to a wide range of occupiers or letting strategies.
The building retains period character and a solid EPC B (50) rating, but it needs external and cosmetic attention — rendered façade shows cracking and peeling paint. Internally the floors and suspended ceilings are serviceable (parquet-style flooring, LED panels) but the space would benefit from a targeted refurbishment to unlock maximum rental or resale value. There is no external amenity space and the plan indicates multiple internal rooms suitable for subdivision or open-plan display.
For investors, the asset can be acquired for offers around £155,000 with an option to take a new lease at a commencing rent of £12,500 pa. There is an annual ground rent of £750 payable from upper floors and a rateable value of £13,250 (check small business relief eligibility). The local market is a small town with steady retail and hospitality trade, but note demographic signals: ageing urban community classification and relatively high local crime statistics, which may influence lettings or tenant mix.
This property suits a buyer or landlord prepared to carry out a measured refurbishment and active asset management to capitalise on the prominent position and Class E flexibility. It will particularly suit operators wanting strong town-centre frontage or investors aiming to relet to convenience, service or leisure occupiers once works are completed.
