A three-storey Grade II listed end-terrace with ground-floor retail and two upper residential floors, presented as a clear renovation and investment opportunity in the heart of Cromford. The property combines a characterful shopfront and sash windows with a compact rear yard and small outbuilding; the shop currently offers a bright retail space, storage/office and WC. The house above includes a kitchen, living room, bathroom and two bedrooms spread over the first and second floors.
The building requires a programme of refurbishment and upgrading (single-glazed sash windows, fit-out and general modernisation) and will need listed-building consents for certain works — this will affect cost and timescales. There is no private parking (on-street only) and the site is in a medium flood-risk area; these are important factors for lenders, insurers and some buyers.
Sold freehold by conditional online auction, this lot suits a buyer comfortable with renovation, historic building consents and auction processes. The ground-floor commercial unit may qualify for small business rates relief, providing short-term operating savings for a trading occupier or a means to boost rental income. No upward chain, good mobile signal and fast broadband add practical appeal for a mixed-use hold or conversion subject to consent. Read the legal pack and special conditions carefully before bidding.
