Prominent town-centre position on Whitburn Road
Reduced freehold price at £75,000
Very small internal area; narrow frontage limits layout
Victorian sandstone character but needs modernisation
Suitable for compact retail, support use, or small office
Surrounding area classed as very deprived; tenant demand constrained
Excellent mobile signal and fast broadband available
No flood risk; close to national retail occupiers
This compact ground-floor retail unit on Whitburn Road is offered freehold at a reduced price of £75,000. Positioned on a prominent town-centre parade, the property benefits from pedestrian frontage and passing trade close to national occupiers such as Costa Coffee and Greggs.
The unit is very small (total 561 sq ft listed; retail area described as 56 sq ft) with a narrow shop front and a single ground-floor space. Ceiling heights are standard and the building is Victorian sandstone, offering period character but requiring modernisation to meet current retail standards.
Suitable for a micro-retail use, satellite office, or investor seeking a low-entry freehold on a main street. The surrounding area is classified as very deprived with a transitional Eastern European neighbourhood and constrained renters — this affects tenant mix and rental prospects. Excellent mobile signal and fast broadband support digital-led businesses, but limited internal area restricts many uses.
Material positives are the prominent location and low purchase price; material negatives are the constrained floor area, narrow frontage, and need for refurbishment. Buyers should budget for modernisation and consider the local market dynamics when assessing rental or conversion potential.
