Situated in the heart of Old Town, this red-brick end-of-terrace building currently operates as a commercial unit and offers flexible accommodation across two floors. With seven rooms, a kitchen, and a ground-floor cloakroom, the layout lends itself to conversion back to a residential home subject to a change-of-use application. The property is offered freehold and chain free, making it straightforward for a developer or buyer to proceed with plans.
Period features include high ceilings, sash-style windows and original brickwork that give the building character and appeal. There is gas central heating to radiators and double glazing already installed (pre-2002). A small rear garden and gated side access provide outdoor space in this town-centre location close to shops, cafés, transport links and schools rated Good by Ofsted.
Buyers should note practical upgrade requirements before residential occupation: the building likely lacks cavity-wall insulation (solid brick walls assumed), windows and interiors are dated, and only one bathroom is present. A formal change-of-use application would need to be submitted to convert the commercial use to residential. These factors create opportunity for value-add refurbishment and reconfiguration to increase living quality and market value.
This property will suit investors, developers or owner-occupiers prepared to manage planning and renovation work. Its central Old Town location, flexible room count and no onward chain make it a compelling project for someone aiming to create a distinctive period home or a high-yield rental after conversion and refurbishment.
