A rare freehold opportunity in Chatham High Street offering nearly 4,900 sq ft across four floors plus basement. The ground floor trades as an A3/A4/A5 restaurant/bar with extensive kitchen and cellar space, while a self-contained five-bedroom maisonette sits above with independent access — providing immediate mixed-use income or vacant possession potential for redevelopment.
The building is well suited to developers and landlords: clear scope for HMO conversion, subdivision into flats, or continued commercial use (all subject to planning). EPCs are C (commercial) and D (residential, with potential to improve). Layout, high ceilings and Victorian character give strong potential for attractive residential units or commercial refurbishment.
Buyers should note material considerations: the rear yard and some external areas show signs of dereliction and will need repair, and the site sits in a high-crime, deprived area which may affect tenant mix and lettings. Any conversion will require planning and building regulation approvals, and modernisation works (insulation and services upgrades) are likely to reach EPC improvement targets.
Positioned close to Chatham station, shopping and multiple amenities, the property benefits from strong rental demand and recent local regeneration, making it appealing for investors seeking a central, versatile asset with medium-term upside once upgraded or reconfigured.
