Dual-income property with strong town-centre visibility and garden.
Freehold mixed-use building with commercial and residential units
This freehold commercial building on Croston Road offers a ready-made dual-income opportunity: a ground-floor open-plan retail unit currently operating as a hair salon and a one-bedroom apartment above. Positioned on a well-trafficked high-visibility parade in a small town fringe, the property benefits from strong footfall and excellent mobile and broadband connectivity, supporting both trade and letting potential.
The commercial space is bright with large front and rear windows, a rear WC, inner porch and direct access to a substantial outbuilding — useful for storage, workshop use or further income generation. The first-floor apartment provides practical, modern accommodation with a double bedroom, fitted kitchen and bathroom, and front lounge, ideal for letting or owner-occupation alongside the business.
Key practical strengths include UPVC double glazing, gas central heating, a private rear garden and gated access to the outbuilding. Business rates are shown at approximately £3,300 and the apartment sits in Council Tax Band A. The property’s size (c. 789 sq ft) and mixed-use layout deliver flexibility for investors or owner-operators seeking immediate cashflow.
Notable concerns: parts of the building show dated internal finishes (narrow mid‑century staircase, dated wallpaper) and the Victorian brick shell may need structural or cosmetic work to unlock full potential. The plot is small and the site will suit buyers comfortable with refurbishment and repurposing rather than those seeking a turnkey investment.
