Summary - 26, BRIDGE STREET WA12 9BA
1 bed 1 bath Retail Property (high street)
Versatile shop with flat above and strong redevelopment potential close to transport links.
Prominent Bridge Street retail frontage with large display windows
This high‑street retail property on Bridge Street combines ground‑floor trading space with a self‑contained flat above—designed for an investor seeking immediate rental income and future upside. Large display windows and central positioning deliver visibility and footfall in a busy commercial stretch. The property totals c.1,604 sq ft including a substantial basement and an enclosed rear yard for storage or operational use.
The flat above provides on‑site accommodation or separate lettable income, increasing flexibility for owner‑occupiers or landlords. A very long lease (c.844 years remaining) and nominal ground rent reduce tenure risk and simplify management. Broadband and mobile signals are strong, supporting modern retail or takeaway operations.
Buyers should factor in clear market realities: the property sits in a very deprived area with very high recorded crime, which will affect tenant mix, insurance costs and rental levels. The building appears to be an early 20th‑century terrace with mixed modern and period elements; obvious refurbishment or fit‑out may be needed to reach top rents.
Overall this is a pragmatic investment proposition: solid footprint and ancillary spaces offer scope for conversion, improved yield or owner occupation, but realistic pricing and a cautious commercial strategy are essential given local socioeconomic and safety challenges.
