A substantial mid-terraced high street building with flexible commercial ground floor and residential upper floors, located on St John Street in historic Newport Pagnell. The ground floor benefits from Use Class E status and generous frontage; the overall plot extends to circa 0.212 acres offering scope to split the property into multiple units or create a separate flat above. Private off-street parking and customer spaces directly outside add practical value for day-to-day trading.
This asset suits owners or investors seeking rental income, owner-occupation with upstairs accommodation, or a multi-unit refurbishment project. The property was previously a well-regarded restaurant and remains vacant, presenting a chance to reposition the space for retail, food & beverage, office, health & beauty, or mixed-use occupiers. The layout and plot allow potential to form up to four units or larger combined premises depending on business needs.
Buyers should note material issues: the building has been vacant for several years and will require refurbishment to bring the trading areas and upper residential accommodation back to standard. The EPC is D and there is a medium flood risk and above-average local crime rate, which should be factored into insurance and fit-out costs. Tenure options include sale as freehold or a new 10–20 year lease with new titles, offering transactional flexibility.
Positioned close to Milton Keynes with good road links, the location benefits from strong local amenities, schools and regular footfall on the high street. For investors this is a value-driven opportunity to restore and reconfigure a prominent town-centre asset and create multiple income streams once refurbished and let.
