A compact, newly refurbished ground-floor shop/office on Christchurch Road, offered freehold with vacant possession of the commercial unit. The unit was fully refitted in 2019 and benefits from a full-width glazed frontage and natural light extending to the full-height basement — practical for back-office, storage or complementary retail uses. Planning falls within Class E, allowing a range of commercial occupancies suitable for small traders or an owner-occupier.
Practical income and cost notes for investors: the self-contained flat above has been sold on a long lease (199 years from 2017), so the freehold sale excludes residential occupation upstairs. Provisional service charge and building insurance are low (service charge circa £200 p.a.; ground rent £50 p.a.), but the flat is liable for 50% of those costs. There is off-street parking for 2–3 cars to the rear, an asset in this parade of independent traders.
Be clear on contextual negatives: the location sits in a deprived area with above-average recorded crime, which may affect tenant demand and rents. The plot is small and the built form is a semi-detached, interwar commercial property with assumed cavity walls and limited scope for major external expansion. The basement has a lower ceiling height than the ground floor, which constrains some uses. EPC for the shop is C.
