This Georgian three-storey building in central Retford presents a rare town-centre commercial-to-residential conversion opportunity. Full planning permission exists to convert into an 11-room HMO, giving immediate development clarity and strong rental potential for investors targeting the student/worker market or a multi-let scheme.
The property is Grade II listed, with traditional sash windows, high ceilings and solid brick walls — features that confer character but will restrict alterations and increase conservation-related costs. A large rear garage and off-street car park (circa 2,139 sq ft) add value and flexible ancillary space for servicing or storage.
Buyers should factor in listed-building constraints, likely retrofit costs (solid walls assumed uninsulated) and an EPC rating of D. The building sits in a deprived area with very high local crime statistics, which may affect tenant mix, insurance and management requirements. Flood risk is low.
Overall this freehold offers a low capital entry point (£345,000) for an investor prepared to manage conservation requirements and address retrofit, security and letting challenges. The size, central location and granted HMO permission create a clear route to income once works and compliance are completed.
