Summary - BAR NEXT DOOR, 21, ROWLANDS ROAD BN11 3JJ
1 bed 1 bath Commercial Development
Large Victorian mixed‑use freehold with fitted bar and maisonette, sold at auction..
Large double‑fronted licensed commercial ground floor with fitted bar
A rare town-centre, late‑Victorian mixed‑use building offering a fully fitted ground‑floor licensed commercial unit and a self‑contained maisonette above. The ground floor has a large double frontage, extensive open-plan customer space, fitted bar servery, basement storage with beer pumps, three‑phase electricity and air conditioning — ready for continued trading or conversion. The maisonette is arranged over the upper floors and is described as having 3–4 well‑sized bedrooms, two bathrooms, a living room and kitchen, with access via internal or external stairs.
This freehold lot is offered at auction with vacant possession, making it suitable for an owner‑occupier, investor or developer. The property benefits from gas central heating, recent double glazing, high ceilings, exposed brick character and a compact rear courtyard with rear access. The substantial internal floorspace (c.3,229 sqft) gives scope for reconfiguration or refurbishment to increase rental income or reposition the commercial unit.
Buyers should note several material considerations: the property sits in a very high crime and very deprived local area, and the auction sale includes non‑refundable reservation fees (4.5% of the purchase price, minimum £6,600) plus a Buyer Information Pack fee (£300). EPCs are D (97) for the commercial floor and E (53) for the maisonette. Parking is on‑street only and the plot is small, which may limit external expansion. Interested parties should verify permitted uses with the local planning authority and check finance with lenders before bidding.
