This unusually large mid-terrace on Beamish Street offers a broad commercial footprint with strong redevelopment potential. Set over basement, ground and first floors and previously used as a charity shop, the property totals approximately 2,982 sq ft and includes a substantial first-floor area that could, subject to planning, be split into two self-contained flats.
The building is freehold and has practical features such as off-street parking, mains gas heating with boiler and radiators, and double glazing fitted before 2002. Its location behind the high street places it close to supermarkets, leisure facilities and frequent public transport links — useful for either commercial occupiers or short-stay accommodation schemes.
Buyers should note material drawbacks: the surrounding area is classified as deprived with a very high local crime rate, and the property appears to have cavity walls with no added insulation. The building requires refurbishment to modern standards (EPC D), and any residential conversion of the first floor will need formal planning consent. The property will be sold at auction, with the usual non-refundable fees and deposit conditions applying.
