Summary - 12, SWAN STREET CV34 4BJ
1 bed 1 bath Mixed Use
Prominent high‑street property with redevelopment upside for income growth.
Approx. 4,688 sq ft across ground, upper floors and basement
An unusually large, period mixed‑use building in the heart of Warwick, offered freehold with vacant possession or to let. The property combines a prominent ground‑floor retail frontage and sizeable upper‑floor accommodation across three storeys plus basement, providing immediate rental or owner‑occupier potential in a busy high‑street location between Warwick Castle and the Market Place.
For an investor or developer this building presents clear value drivers: generous combined floor area (approx. 4,688 sq ft), prominent shopfronts on Swan Street, and a substantial flat roof area with scope for enlargement subject to planning. The town‑centre position and excellent pedestrian footfall support retail or leisure uses, while the upper floors could be reconfigured for residential or office income streams.
Buyers should note practical drawbacks that affect running costs and immediate use: the existing EPC was E (119) with a new assessment pending; business rates are significant (12A: £9,800; 12: £45,250), and broadband speeds in the area are slow. The building is historic (c.1820) and will require ongoing maintenance and sympathetic refurbishment; there is no private garden and rear outdoor space is negligible. The area records higher-than-average crime levels, which may influence security measures and insurance costs.
Overall this is a substantial town‑centre investment with development upside for the right purchaser able to manage listed‑style, period maintenance and planning-led improvements. It will suit investors seeking a high‑profile retail/office holding or a developer prepared to reconfigure upper floors to increase rental value.
