This freehold mixed-use property on Queen Street offers a highly visible ground-floor retail unit with a separately accessed upper maisonette that currently produces rental income. The commercial frontage suits ongoing trade or alternative retail/service uses (subject to planning), while the upper floors provide immediate returns and longer-term development potential.
The building is a solid-brick Victorian end-terrace (c.1900–1929) with double glazing and gas central heating. The upper accommodation is described as a two-bedroom maisonette arranged over two floors and is tenanted, delivering immediate cashflow. The shop is in active use as a dry cleaners/laundrette and is well positioned for town-centre footfall and HS1 commuter links.
Key positives include freehold tenure, prominent high-street visibility and proximity to Ashford International Station and major retail and leisure destinations. There is scope for reconfiguration or redevelopment subject to planning permission, which will suit investors or owner-occupiers seeking value-add potential.
Buyers should note material concerns plainly: the area is classified as deprived with a high local crime rate, the plot is small, and the building is older solid-brick construction likely lacking wall insulation. EPC information is incomplete for the shop (Flat D for the maisonette), and any alteration or development will require the usual planning and building-control approvals. These factors affect running costs, retrofit needs and future planning outcomes.
