This freehold high‑street property occupies a prime Brentwood High Street pitch with vacant possession and immediate Class E retail use. The site benefits from planning consent (21/01440/FUL, subject to S106) for a mixed‑use redevelopment delivering 13 residential units above two ground‑floor commercial units — one fronting High Street and one onto William Hunter Way. The location offers excellent footfall, nearby national retailers, and a ten‑minute walk to Brentwood Railway Station (Elizabeth Line).
Internally the building provides a very large, long and deep retail footprint totalling c.5,284 sq ft GIA, with first‑floor offices and stores. Condition is fair–poor: the interior is stripped/untidy and will require full refurbishment; the flat roof shows weathering and likely needs repair or re‑covering. Development and conversion costs should be factored into any offer.
This opportunity suits developers or investors seeking town‑centre residential lift and ground‑floor commercial income in a very affluent area. Key transactional points: sale is VAT‑able, the planning consent is subject to a S106 agreement, and offers are requested unconditionally. Note also the local crime rate is recorded as very high, which may influence lettings or resident perceptions and should be considered in management/security planning.
