A compact mixed-use freehold on Cricklade Road offering a ready-made income setup and off-street parking. The ground-floor commercial unit has a long trading history and is suitable for retail or service use, while the self-contained one-bedroom flat above is immediately lettable, providing an income stream from day one.
Practical for investors seeking a low-entry buy-to-let with business potential: the property benefits from excellent mobile signal, fast broadband and rare private parking to the rear — useful for both tenants and a small business operator. The commercial space traded as a barber for 15 years and presents in generally good condition with contemporary finishes and recessed lighting.
Important negatives are clear and factual: the overall footprint is small (approximately 366 sq ft) and the residential unit requires some work to modernise. The location is in a deprived area with high crime levels, which may affect tenant demand and rental values. Any change of use for the commercial space would require the necessary consents.
At the listed guide price, this property suits purchasers prioritising immediate rental income and small-scale mixed-use investment with refurbishment upside. Flood risk is nil and the property sits on a Victorian terrace, so buyers should factor in typical period maintenance and potential refurbishment costs.
