Freehold commercial premises with no onward chain
Prominent Main Street position — high local footfall
Former Victorian public house with retained character features
Practical layout: bar, storage, WC, four first-floor rooms, cellar
Small enclosed rear courtyard; limited external space
Requires full renovation; conversion needs planning consents
EPC rating to be confirmed; may affect financing and use
Local area deprived with above-average crime statistics
This end-terrace former Victorian public house sits prominently on Main Street, offered freehold with no onward chain. The building retains character features and a practical layout: ground-floor bar, storage and WC, four first-floor rooms and a cellar. A small enclosed rear courtyard provides private outdoor space and loading access.
The property is a clear renovation and development opportunity for buyers comfortable with planning and building works. Potential uses include reopening as a pub, conversion to a substantial family dwelling, or subdivision into self-contained apartments subject to necessary consents. Mobile signal and broadband speeds are strong, and the location benefits from regular bus and rail links.
Buyers should factor in material drawbacks: the building needs renovation throughout, the EPC is to be confirmed, and the local area is relatively deprived with above-average crime statistics. These factors may affect funding, insurance and lettability without suitable mitigation.
For the right investor or developer, the site’s Main Street position and footfall, combined with nearby amenities and good transport connections, offer scope to add value. Early enquiries into planning and structural condition are recommended to establish viable end-uses and costed refurbishment plans.
