A substantial freehold mixed‑use building in Taunton town centre, offered with vacant possession and clear redevelopment potential. The property extends to approximately 2,715 sq ft on a 0.14‑acre plot, with an open‑plan ground floor commercial unit, upper‑floor one‑bedroom accommodation and outbuildings plus a rear garden. Its prominent roadside frontage suits continued retail or a range of Class E uses, with residential conversion or a small infill scheme possible subject to planning consent.
The building requires complete modernisation: expect significant capital expenditure to bring services, thermal performance and finishes up to contemporary standards. Construction is solid brick with assumed no insulation; heating is mains gas via boiler and radiators. The commercial EPC rating is D but the residential element will need upgrading. Preliminary development proposals exist but no planning has been sought — buyers must make their own enquiries and allow time and cost for consents.
This lot will be sold at auction with an extended eight‑week completion period and a buyer’s premium payable on exchange. The location offers excellent mobile signal, fast broadband and easy access to Taunton’s amenities, transport links and leisure venues. Be aware the area has very high recorded crime and is classed as very deprived; inspections are supervised and the property is described as dangerous internally, so entry is at the purchaser’s risk. For investors or developers who can budget for refurbishment and permissions, the site presents a prominent, flexible town‑centre opportunity.
