Summary - 5-7, COUNTESS STREET KA21 5HP
1 bed 1 bath Commercial Property
Central shop with upstairs rooms, ideal for investor or owner-operator requiring refurbishment.
Prominent two-storey retail unit with two display windows
A prominent two-storey commercial unit on Countess Street, a high-footfall centre close to Saltcoats train station and main bus routes. The ground floor offers a large retail space with two display windows and security roller shutters, while the first floor provides two rooms, a WC and basic kitchen — useful for storage, office or modest living quarters.
This leasehold property extends to approximately 84.11 m2 (905 sq ft total as supplied) and has a low rateable value currently qualifying for 100% Small Business Bonus relief for eligible occupiers. Free public parking nearby and excellent mobile and broadband connectivity support a range of small retail, service or pop-up concepts. Long-term use as a successful gift shop demonstrates clear trading potential in this busy town-centre location.
Notable positives include strong passing trade, visible shopfronts with shutters, proximity to public transport, and flexible internal layout. The property does require some maintenance and modernisation to reach its full potential, presenting an opportunity for refurbishment and rental uplift for investors or an owner-occupier seeking a central shop with ancillary space.
Material considerations: the property is leasehold and located in a very deprived area, which may affect footfall and customer demographics. The building is mid-20th century and described as needing maintenance — buyers should factor refurbishment costs and seek survey advice before purchase. Suitable for investors, small-business operators, or buyers seeking renovation potential in a town-centre retail asset.
