A versatile Victorian-era shop with upper living accommodation, offered freehold and sold at auction. The ground floor currently operates as a takeaway with a large retail/shop area, heated display cases and a substantial commercial kitchen, plus two storage rooms. The first and second floors provide three double bedrooms and a bathroom, making owner-occupier use or rental of living space possible. A small private rear garden and outdoor storage add practical value.
This property is best suited to investors or business owners seeking a city-centre trading position with living accommodation above. The layout is adaptable for many uses but will require updating: noted ceiling damage, dated décor and signs of wear suggest immediate maintenance and possible damp investigation. Walls are cavity-built with no added insulation (assumed), and double glazing is present though install date is unknown.
Practical positives include mains gas central heating (boiler and radiators), excellent mobile signal and fast broadband — useful for trade and management. The plot and overall size are small (approx. 647 sq ft), and the local area is classified as deprived with higher-than-average crime, which may affect tenant profiles and rental prospects. Buyers should factor auction terms, renovation costs and local market conditions into offers.
For the right buyer this is a low-entry commercial investment with accommodation above and short-term rental or trade potential. Full professional surveys are recommended to quantify repair needs and to confirm services, safety compliance and any damp or structural issues before bidding.
