A substantial freehold commercial building on Commercial Street, offered with ground-floor café space and a first-floor office/flat. At 2,511 sq ft the property suits an owner-occupier operator, an investor seeking rental income, or a conversion/refurbishment project to increase yield.
The building retains a Victorian stone facade and large shop windows that provide clear shopfront presence in a central town location. Practical benefits include off-street parking, a rear yard, mains gas heating with boiler and radiators, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal. There is no recorded flood risk.
Material considerations: the area ranks as deprived with very high local crime, which will affect tenant demand and rental levels. The property dates from 1900–1929 with solid brick walls likely lacking insulation and double glazing was installed before 2002 — further thermal and electrical upgrades are likely. The accommodation provides around six rooms, four bedrooms and a single bathroom on the first floor, so reconfiguration may be needed depending on intended use.
For an investor this is a priced-to-refurbish opportunity in a busy small-town high street with multiple local amenities nearby. For an operator it offers immediate trading potential at ground level with ancillary accommodation above. Buyers should budget for refurbishment, energy-efficiency improvements and security measures given the local crime profile.
