This compact Grade II listed retail unit sits on Load Street in Bewdley, offering a rare income-producing opportunity in a prominent high‑street position. The property benefits from traditional Georgian frontage, large display windows, and a small private courtyard — features that support retail or service use under Use Class E.
The unit is let on a fixed two‑year lease starting 1 October 2025, with rent at £10,800 p.a. in year one rising to £12,000 p.a. in year two, presenting immediate, predictable cashflow for an investor. Energy performance is reasonable (Energy Rating C) and the building has double glazing installed after 2002.
Buyers should note this is a leasehold Grade II listed building. Listed status will restrict alterations and may complicate fit‑outs or signage, and the mid‑terrace construction with electric storage heating could mean higher running costs compared with modern systems. Broadband speeds are very slow and the local crime level is high — factors that may affect certain tenants and yields.
Overall this is a straightforward, small‑scale commercial investment in a picturesque market town with strong local amenities. It suits an investor seeking a low‑management, short‑term leased retail asset who understands listed‑building constraints and the local utilities and connectivity limitations.
