Summary - Grays Inn Road, Bloomsbury, London, WC1X WC1X 8LR
8 bed 1 bath Not Specified
High-footfall freehold with secure commercial covenant and steady residential income.
Freehold mixed‑use building with strong central Bloomsbury location
A rare freehold investment on a prominent Bloomsbury corner, currently producing stable income from six residential flats and a long-established commercial tenant. The commercial unit is let to a well-known patisserie on a fresh 10-year lease outside the 1954 Act, while the residential block is fully tenanted on ASTs with tenants responsible for bills and council tax.
This is a low-management, cash-flowing asset: consistent lettings, minimal voids and a high-footfall central-London location close to Chancery Lane and transport links. The building’s period character and high ceilings add appeal for future refurbishment or lease reconfiguration should value-add work be considered.
Key risks are material and must be weighed. The new leasehold term is only ten years remaining, which will likely deter mortgage lenders and limit purchase options to cash buyers or specialist finance. Crime levels in the immediate area are reported very high and external amenity space is negligible, so the asset suits an investor focused on income rather than family living.
Overall, this is a straightforward, income-generating freehold with secure commercial covenant and predictable residential revenue, best suited to investors able to accept short lease length and inner-city operational considerations.
