Freehold retail plus one-bed flat — refurbishment upside and separate lettings potential.
Freehold mixed-use building with ground-floor retail and first-floor flat
A freehold mixed-use opportunity on College Road, Kingstanding, presenting immediate income potential or owner-occupation above a busy retail frontage. The ground-floor shop provides strong roadside visibility for a range of trades (subject to planning); the first-floor flat comprises a fitted kitchen, double bedroom, bathroom and an attic room for storage or additional use. At 963 sqft overall the property is larger than typical one-bed mixed-use units, offering flexibility to let separately or trade from the premises.
The building is mid-20th century and currently in basic condition, suited to an investor seeking refurbishment upside or an owner-occupier willing to carry out repairs and modernisation. There is no reported flood risk, broadband speeds are fast and mobile signal is excellent — practical benefits for both commercial tenants and residential occupiers. Local amenities, schools and frequent public transport links make the location convenient and well-trafficked.
Buyers should note maintenance is required: the commercial unit and internal areas are in basic condition and will need renovation to reach premium rental levels. An EPC is available on request but not provided here. Legal and surveyor costs are the responsibility of each party, and viewings are by booked appointment only. This property suits investors targeting steady rental income with scope to add value through refurbishment, or a small business owner wishing to live above their trade.
