Large freehold building with redevelopment potential near high street and sea.
Freehold Victorian double-fronted building, three storeys, approx 2,707 sq ft
A substantial freehold commercial property on Turner Street, offered with scope for redevelopment or continued commercial use. The double-fronted Victorian building spans three floors, around 2,707 sq ft across approximately 18 rooms, and retains period features such as bay windows, high ceilings, cornices and large windows. It includes a rear yard, gas central heating and permit on-street parking to the front.
The location is a key strength: yards from the high street and seafront, with fast broadband and excellent mobile signal. Local amenities are immediate — shops, cafes, supermarkets, leisure and transport links — making the site suitable for mixed commercial uses or conversion subject to planning. The property is sold freehold and has potential for further development, subject to obtaining any necessary consents.
Buyers should note material drawbacks plainly. The area is classified as very deprived with very high crime levels; the building is described as dated and will need modernization and refurbishment to meet contemporary standards. Any change of use or development would require planning approval. On-street permit parking is available, but plot size is small and there is no off-street customer parking beyond the rear yard.
This opportunity suits investors or developers prepared to manage refurbishment and planning risk, or occupiers wanting a prominent town-centre base with scope to add value. Viewings and a 360 virtual tour are available for those assessing redevelopment potential and required works.
