A substantial freehold mixed‑use building in Taunton town centre offering circa 2,715 sq ft across ground and first floors on a 0.14 acre plot. The ground floor provides a long street-facing retail unit with upper rooms including one bedroom and a bathroom; the site includes outbuildings and a rear garden/yard. Sold with vacant possession and immediate redevelopment potential subject to consents.
The property is a period Tudor‑style mid‑terrace with characterful features but clearly requires complete modernisation throughout — roofs, facade, services and internal finishes will need attention. EPC (commercial) is D; mains gas heating present via boiler and radiators but many installations have not been tested. The building is suitable for a range of Class E commercial uses at street level with residential C3 potential above, subject to planning and building regulation approvals.
This lot will be offered by online auction (guide price £55,000). Completion terms are accelerated (target 8 weeks), so buyers should review the legal pack, arrange surveys and confirm finance before bidding. The property is in a busy town-centre trading position but sits in an area with elevated crime and significant local deprivation, which should be factored into lettings or refurbishment strategies.
For buyers seeking a renovation/development project, the site’s size and central location provide scope for reconfiguration or conversion, subject to planning. For owner-occupiers or local operators the long retail frontage and nearby amenities offer footfall; however, prepare for a full refurbishment programme and the costs and permissions that entails.
