Freehold mixed-use investment on Dorking High Street
A compact freehold investment on Dorking High Street, offered in-situ with mixed income streams and strong town-centre footfall. The ground-floor retail is producing a headline rent of £30,000 pa on a 10-year lease, while two upper apartments are let on ASTs at £1,165 pcm and £1,300 pcm, providing immediate rental income and simple management.
Set in a Grade II listed Georgian building, the property benefits from prominent retail frontage, tall ceilings and neutral internal finishes in the commercial area. Its central location places it close to multiple rail stations, high-street amenities and affluence in the Surrey Hills, making it appealing to investors targeting steady town-centre returns or owner-occupiers seeking a combined business/residence opportunity.
Buyers should note material constraints: listed status will restrict alterations and may complicate change-of-use or refurbishment works. The footprint is modest (approx. 929 sq ft) with no private parking or garden, and the immediate area records higher crime levels than average, which may affect certain occupier types. Offers are sought in the region of £770,000 (freehold, no VAT).
This is a straightforward, income-producing High Street asset with potential to enhance value through active management and sensitive refurbishment where consent permits. It suits investors seeking immediate rental yield and long-term capital prospects in a well-connected market town, provided they accept listed-building limitations and constrained external space.
