This Grade II listed commercial unit sits on North Street in the centre of Winchcombe, offering a rare high-street presence with large Georgian shopfront windows and generous internal space. The ground-floor retail/office is light and flexible under Class E use, with useful basement storage and a self-contained kitchen and W/C. The property is currently vacant and could suit a retail, office or specialist leisure use that benefits from town centre footfall.
For investors the property offers an anticipated rental income around £14,000 per annum and a long lease of 999 years from 2023, simplifying tenure concerns. The building is approximately 844 sq ft (78.24 m²) and presents characterful Cotswold stone elevations and high ceilings that appeal to quality tenants and boutique operators. Business rates relief may apply for qualifying occupiers at this rateable value.
There are important constraints to note. The building is Grade II listed which will restrict alterations and may increase cost and lead time for fit-out or services work. The original sandstone or limestone walls are assumed uninsulated, and glazing age is unknown; thermal and services upgrades may be required. Despite double glazing being present, the property retains historic fabric that will need sensitive, and possibly costly, conservation-led maintenance.
The first-floor residential flat is marketed separately and is not included in this sale. This means the sale covers the ground floor commercial unit only. The town’s affluent, tourism-driven economy and strong local amenities support lettability, but buyers should budget for listed-building compliance and potential refurbishment to achieve the forecast rental level.
