A prominent Grade II listed freehold retail building in the heart of Frome Market Place, offered with vacant possession. Extending to approximately 1,608 sq ft over four floors, the unit has a full-width glazed shopfront onto a busy pedestrian high street and is immediately adjacent to national occupiers, ensuring consistent footfall. The property has historic character and solid period construction, making it attractive for continued retail, café/bar or other Class E uses subject to consent.
This is a straightforward commercial purchase for an investor or operator seeking central presence: the price reflects town-centre location and the building’s scope for refurbishment or reconfiguration of upper floors for ancillary space or alternative uses (consents required). The building is within a Conservation Area and its Listed status will affect permitted works; buyers should allow for listing-related constraints and potential listed-building consent timescales and costs.
Practical points: the property is offered as freehold at £350,000, VAT is payable on sale or tenancy, and business rates show a rateable value around £16,750 (2023 list). Services include mains gas heating (boiler and radiators) and an EPC of C/57. Broadband speeds are reported as very slow and there is no external private amenity or onsite parking. The building will require upgrading for modern trading standards and may need internal refurbishment to meet specific operator needs.
