This former engineering workshop on Hampton Road offers a clear opportunity for an investor or developer prepared to renovate. The site is freehold, has gated parking and a substantial overall footprint (around 2,265 sq ft) with existing ground-floor workshop space and a first-floor flat. A pre-application enquiry (2024/05829/PA) has been submitted proposing change of use to create three self-contained flats, showing permitted redevelopment potential subject to permission.
The building needs renovation and can be used in multiple ways while works are carried out — retain commercial use at ground floor (workshop, storage or light industrial) and refresh the upper flat, or pursue a full residential conversion to the three-flat scheme. Practical positives include fast broadband and excellent mobile signal, plus direct access from Hampton Road via a large gated entrance.
Important constraints are clear: the site sits in a very deprived neighbourhood with a high local crime rate, and the plot itself is small despite the building’s internal size. Buyers should factor in renovation costs, possible site clearance, and planning/time risk before committing. Legal, structural and local-market due diligence is advised.
For the right purchaser — an investor or small developer comfortable working in regeneration areas — this property presents a low-price entry into a major conurbation with planning interest already lodged. It’s suited to a short redevelopment programme, mixed commercial/residential income, or a longer-term value-add refurbishment.
