Summary - INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITY - Commercial Shop with 3 bedroom flat, Lenham ME17 2PG
3 bed 1 bath Character Property
Income-producing property with scope to increase rental returns.
Freehold mixed-use building in Lenham village square
A freehold mixed-use building in Lenham’s historic village square, combining a well-located coffee shop and a spacious three-bedroom flat above. The ground-floor café is let on a five-year lease producing around £14,400pa, with a shared rear garden suitable for outdoor seating and strong footfall from the square. The first and second-floor flat (previously let at £1,150pcm) offers exposed beams, character features and flexible accommodation across about 800 sq ft.
This is a clear income-focused purchase: combined current and achievable rents are stated in excess of £28,000pa, making it attractive for investors seeking steady cashflow and potential rental uplift once the flat is re-let. The building’s position in a prosperous, well-served village with rail connections and M20 access supports long-term tenant demand for both the commercial and residential elements.
Buyers should note this is a small overall property with shared external space and a single family bathroom. The flat is currently vacant, so re-letting costs, minor refurbishment and PRS compliance checks should be allowed for. The shop occupies around 800 sq ft in total and has a listed or historic character frontage which enhances appeal but may limit alterations.
Overall the asset suits investors wanting a compact, village-centre income stream with scope to increase returns by re-letting the flat and optimising the café tenancy. Owner-occupiers seeking a live/work setup in a character property may also find it appealing, provided they accept the responsibilities of mixed-use ownership.
