Spacious retail-plus-flat close to Leytonstone Tube — strong let or owner-occupier potential.
Large ground-floor restaurant with wide shopfront and generous seating area
A substantial freehold mixed-use building on High Road Leytonstone, combining a large ground-floor restaurant with a four-bedroom flat above. The restaurant includes a wide shopfront, generous seating area, large basement, kitchen, utility, lean-to and two WCs — offering immediate trading potential or lettable commercial income. The flat provides four bedrooms, a reception room, a family bathroom and a fitted kitchen, plus access to a private rear garden.
Location is a clear asset: the property sits within walking distance of Leytonstone Tube Station and a busy high street of shops and amenities, which supports footfall for the commercial unit and rental demand for the flat. Mains gas heating, double glazing and an EPC rating of D are in place; broadband and mobile signals are reported good.
Buyers should note a few material points: the building is an early-20th-century mid-terrace with solid brick walls and assumed no cavity insulation, and the area is classified as deprived, which can affect long-term yields and tenant mix. The flat has a single family bathroom and the shop faces a busy main road — great for exposure but noisy. On-street parking only. EPC D and potential maintenance or refurbishment needs in parts of the property mean some capital expenditure may be required.
For an investor, landlord or owner-operator the proposition is clear: an established retail unit plus substantial upper-floor accommodation and a large basement create multiple income or conversion options. Planning and refurbishment could increase value, but factor in upgrade costs and the local market profile when calculating returns.
