Vacant freehold Victorian shop with spacious maisonette — income potential in a high-footfall location.
Freehold mixed-use: ground-floor commercial plus large upper maisonette
A rare freehold mixed-use opportunity on Westoe Road offering a ground-floor commercial unit with basement and a spacious upper maisonette. The property is newly redecorated and sold with vacant possession, ready for immediate occupation or letting. Its prominent bay-fronted Victorian façade and high-street position deliver clear visibility and passing footfall.
The upper maisonette provides generous living space across two floors with four bedrooms and two bathrooms, suitable for family occupation or a multi-let arrangement. The commercial unit’s flexible layout can support retail, office or service uses; a private entrance separates the two units for ease of management.
Location strengths include excellent public transport links, proximity to Chichester Metro Station and South Shields’ coastline for leisure amenity. However, this part of Westoe Road sits within a very deprived area with high local crime levels and a broader “hampered aspiration” classification — factors that will influence tenant demand and rental values.
The property’s plot is small despite a large overall internal area (approx. 1,643 sq ft); any external alterations are therefore limited. Investors should weigh the strong dual-income potential and vacant possession against the local socio-economic challenges and the need for targeted tenanting or business strategies to mitigate area risk.
