A substantial mixed‑use freehold on Wimborne Road offering rare frontage and wide redevelopment potential. The double‑fronted building provides two street‑facing lock‑up retail units on the ground floor with large display windows, and two self‑contained flats above, all set on a large 0.176‑acre plot with extensive industrial-style outbuildings to the rear. The property is offered with vacant possession, making it immediately available to owner‑occupiers, investors or developers.
The site totals approximately 5,542 sq ft internally and includes significant ancillary storage buildings—three with pitched roofs and several flat‑roof sections to the front—useful for continued trading or conversion. The location benefits from high footfall on a busy retail parade close to national multiples, good transport links and fast broadband; Bournemouth town centre is about 2.5 miles away.
Planning was previously granted (application 7-2018-19129-C) for four dwellings with parking to the rear, though that consent has now lapsed. That consent demonstrates the site’s redevelopment potential, subject to fresh planning approval. Buyers should assess planning viability for residential or mixed‑use schemes.
Notable risks and works are apparent: the area records higher crime levels, and parts of the building will require refurbishment and ongoing maintenance, particularly flat‑roofed sections. Prospective purchasers should commission surveys and factor remedial works, potential change‑of‑use costs, and planning fees into proposals.
