A distinctive late-Victorian brick building with a freehold two-bedroom apartment over a ground-floor retail/art space, offered with no upper chain. Built in 1898, the property currently trades as a creative hub and benefits from Class E planning, on-street parking and nearby EV charging points — practical assets for continued business use or short-term rental income while you plan works.
The apartment has separate coded entry via an external staircase and is currently let, providing immediate income. The building’s character features high ceilings and large shopfront windows, offering strong potential for conversion to a larger single home, multiple flats or continued commercial / mixed-use, subject to building regulations and planning consent.
Important factual points: the plot is small, parking is on-street only, and the immediate area records above-average crime statistics. The local area is classified as an ageing urban community within a wider multi-ethnic hardship area, and some nearby schools have mixed Ofsted results. Buyers should allow time and budget for any conversion or refurbishment and confirm any proposals with the local planning authority.
This property will suit a buyer seeking a character-rich investment or a unique owner-occupier project — particularly someone comfortable managing tenants, navigating planning change of use, or creating a bespoke home in a town-centre location.
