About 616 sq ft retail plus 106 sq ft kitchen/staffroom and WC
Freehold sale by online auction — quick completion likely
EPC rating B; double glazing installed after 2002

Electric storage heating — potential higher energy costs
Area classified as deprived with very high crime rates
Rateable value ~£12,000; small business rate relief may apply
A well-located high-street retail freehold offered for sale by online auction, with an extensive frontage onto pedestrianised Church Lane close to the Market Place. The single-storey brick and slate unit provides about 616 sq ft of open retail area plus a 106 sq ft kitchen/staffroom and separate WC — a compact, workable footprint for many small businesses or an investor-led tenanting plan.
Practical positives include central pedestrian exposure, double glazing fitted after 2002, EPC rating B, excellent mobile signal and fast broadband. The property is constructed before 1900 with characterful façade details, solid brick walls and electric storage heating; these features support both period appeal and straightforward servicing requirements.
Buyers should note material considerations: the building likely has uninsulated solid walls and uses electric storage heaters, so energy costs and retrofit for insulation could be required. The area is classified as deprived with very high crime rates, which may affect footfall and insurance costs. The Rateable Value sits around £12,000, so small business rate relief may be available — purchasers should confirm rates with Boston Borough Council.
This lot suits investors seeking a compact, central retail holding with immediate physical presence, or an owner-occupier able to refurbish and reposition the unit. The auction format offers a quick sale route but also means buyers must undertake due diligence on services, measurements and running costs prior to bidding.
