A practical investment in Harrowgate Hill: this two-storey, end-terrace mixed-use building combines a ground-floor commercial shop with a self-contained first-floor flat. The property is freehold and sold at auction, offering a straightforward acquisition route for buyers seeking a short-term value-add project.
The shop unit benefits from a shuttered frontage, rear yard access and the layout of a former convenience store, while the flat provides two bedrooms, a living room, kitchen and bathroom. Mains gas heating, a boiler with radiators and double glazing are already in place, reducing some immediate upgrade costs.
The property requires full refurbishment and modernisation; conversion to additional flats or adding value through renovation are realistic options subject to planning. Note practical drawbacks: condition is dated, external space is limited despite a small side garden and garage, and the area records above-average crime — factor refurbishment and security costs into your budgets.
For buyers focused on income or redevelopment, the location on Harrowgate Hill delivers good transport links, local amenities and tenant demand typical of an aspiring urban neighbourhood. Viewing is recommended so investors can assess scope, costs and potential return before bidding at auction.
