Freehold live/work shop with basement, two bedrooms and development potential (STP)..
Freehold corner shop with prominent double-aspect display windows
A rare freehold corner shop with versatile upper-floor accommodation, offered chain-free and ready for immediate possession. The ground floor provides a prominent retail space with large display windows to front and side, an efficient rear kitchen, WC and additional rear store; a large basement offers dry storage or office use. Two upper floors contain flexible rooms that have been used as living accommodation (two bedrooms, shower room) and a top-floor storeroom — ideal for someone wanting a genuine live/work setup or to convert into separate residential units (subject to planning).
Practical advantages include off-street parking nearby, good broadband and excellent mobile signal, and a compact rear yard with gated access. The property totals about 1,099 sq ft across multiple storeys, sold freehold with no upward chain, which supports a quick transaction and straightforward ownership transfer.
Buyers should note material local-context factors: the immediate area is classified as deprived with very high recorded crime levels — important for retail operators or landlords to consider when pricing, security-proofing or insuring the business. The corner Victorian building has character but may need targeted works to meet modern retail or separate-residence standards; prospective purchasers should allow budget for any conversion, compliance or cosmetic refurbishment and check planning for development potential (STP).
This unit will suit a hands-on owner-operator, an investor seeking a mixed-use let, or someone looking to run a small retail/food/office business from the ground floor while living above. Viewing is recommended to assess layout, condition and potential for adaptation in person.
