This mid-terrace mixed-use freehold occupies a prominent position on South Benfleet’s busy High Road, currently producing £29,000 per annum from two retail lettings and an upper flat. The large ground-floor commercial area and second, separate coffee shop deliver immediate income while the first-floor flat (accessed internally from the main shop) adds residential yield and future flexibility.
The main retail/flat combination is let on a long 18-year lease from October 2017 with no tenant break and a rent review due October 2025; the coffee shop is on a short lease to May 2027. The long lease on the larger unit provides income security, but the flat’s internal access via the shop and the short term of the coffee-shop lease are material considerations for an incoming owner looking to reconfigure or gain vacant possession.
Practical benefits include two parking spaces to the front, a small rear yard, and excellent footfall and public-transport links (Benfleet Station nearby). The property totals about 1,733 sq ft (1,130 sq ft shop / 603 sq ft flat) and sits within an affluent, low-crime catchment — attractive for investors or an owner-occupier seeking trading frontage.
Internally the residential accommodation and parts of the ground floor are lived-in and would benefit from decluttering and cosmetic refurbishment to maximise rental or sale value. The tight, high-road footprint and internal access arrangement limit immediate opportunities for straightforward conversion without tenant cooperation or planning consent.
