A compact freehold high-street unit in central Leamington Spa offering a clear entry point for investors. The ground-floor retail space is vacant and ready for re-letting or repositioning, with an immediately usable cellar that includes a gas supply and ancillary WC and kitchen. The building was rendered in 2015 and benefits from good transport links and fast broadband.
The asset includes three surmounting flats sold on long 99-year leases that currently produce peppercorn rents and a small service charge for communal repairs — so the residential side offers little immediate income but secures long‑term asset control. The retail unit (approx. 107 sqft retail plus a 173 sqft cellar/store) is compact, suited to an independent retailer, office, or local service operator.
Practical drawbacks are material and should inform purchase plans: the retail area is small and likely requires refurbishment to meet modern trading standards; the neighbourhood records higher crime levels which may affect footfall and insurance costs; there is no outdoor or dedicated parking. This is best suited to a buyer seeking a low-entry freehold town-centre investment with short-term refurbishment or rental upside.
