A substantial mid-terrace commercial block on Freeman Street offering 6,600 sq ft across two storeys, formerly used as a nursery, church and offices. The property has a strong town-centre frontage with large shopfront glazing and direct pavement access, making it suitable for retail, community uses or subdivision into mixed commercial/residential units subject to freeholder and planning consent. Services appear intact and the building benefits from uPVC double-glazed windows, fast broadband and excellent mobile coverage.
This is a clear opportunity for an investor or developer seeking a prominent, high-footfall site close to Hainton Square and local amenities. The building’s size and room layout permit conversion or reconfiguration, but any change of use will require planning approval and the freeholder’s agreement — factor these into delivery times and costs. There is no private outdoor amenity space and the property occupies a continuous pavement frontage only.
Buyers should be aware of several material constraints: the tenure is leasehold, the area records very high crime and very high deprivation indicators, and the neighbourhood is described as a transitional Eastern European area with constrained renters. Those factors will influence rental levels, exit strategies and insurance or security costs. Conversely, steady local footfall, nearby supermarket anchors and accessible transport links support occupation or short-term letting to community and retail operators.
Overall this is a value-led, redevelopment-focused site rather than a hands-off income asset. It suits buyers prepared to invest in refurbishment, security improvements and planning-led conversion for a longer-term uplift. Full physical and legal due diligence is recommended before offer, including lease terms, freeholder permissions and detailed condition survey.
