Prominent town-centre shop with income potential and refurbishment upside.
Large retail unit, approximately 969 sq ft
A substantial Victorian retail unit in Whittlesey town centre, offered freehold and extending to approximately 969 sq ft. The property currently trades as a beauty salon with multiple treatment rooms and tenants in situ, making it immediately income-producing for a buyer seeking lettable retail space.
Key strengths include a prominent two-storey shopfront with bay windows, high ceilings, mains gas heating and modern double glazing (install date unknown). Connectivity is strong: excellent mobile signal and fast broadband support service-led uses, while nearby amenities and transport links keep footfall consistent.
The building is a solid-brick construction dating to before 1900 and likely lacks cavity insulation; there is potential for energy-efficiency improvements and interior refurbishment to increase rental value. Buyers should note the town’s wider area classification indicates deprivation and average local crime levels — factors that affect rental yields and tenant mix. Plot size is small and there is one bathroom and approximately three main rooms.
This property suits investors or owner-operators aiming to retain or adapt a town-centre retail/clinic space. Immediate rental income is possible with tenants in place, but realistic budgeting for refurbishment, insulation, and ongoing maintenance is advised to maximise long-term returns.
