A rare freehold opportunity on popular Askew Road, offered as ground floor with a small rear mezzanine. The compact 464 sq ft unit delivers strong street visibility via an arcaded frontage and roller shutter, with striking internal volume thanks to ceiling heights in excess of 14ft. Air conditioning and a kitchenette/WC are already in place, and the space is suited to retail, showroom, beauty, estate agency or office uses.
This is a straightforward, city-centre commercial proposition for an investor or an owner-occupier seeking a prominent, compact high-street presence. The property can alternatively be taken on a new lease; personal guarantors and evidence of business viability will be required for tenancy. Single-phase electricity and the absence of gas keep services simple but may limit high-power equipment.
Key constraints are clear: no extraction or hot-food use is permitted, the unit is small and will suit businesses needing a tight footprint, and the mezzanine headroom should be checked during inspection. The local area is busy and cosmopolitan but recorded as higher crime and relatively deprived, which affects trading risk and insurance costs. Note also the long-lease residential long leaseholders have a statutory right of pre-emption, which buyers should factor into timing and due diligence.
For buyers prepared to accept a compact footprint and local trading variables, this architect-designed shop offers turnkey visibility, good natural height for display, and the security of freehold tenure in a well-known west London shopping parade.
