Income-producing retail unit with strong local footfall and immediate rental return.
Victorian brick shopfront on active high street parade
A compact Victorian retail unit on a busy Whitstable parade, currently let and producing immediate rental income. The ground-floor shop benefits from a traditional brick shopfront and standard ceiling heights, suited to neighbourhood-facing retailers or service operators.
The property is let to a charitable tenant on a five-year lease from June 2022, passing £11,000 per annum, delivering an income stream from day one. Upper parts have been sold on long leases; this sale is for the ground-floor commercial premises only.
Notable considerations for investors: the lease term is relatively short (expires June 2027) and the tenure of the commercial interest is recorded as unknown — purchasers should verify lease length, title and any service or management arrangements. The area records very high local crime levels, which may affect tenancy risk and insurance costs.
Logistics are favourable: low flood risk, excellent mobile signal and fast broadband, plus abundant nearby amenities, schools and town-centre footfall. The plot is small and the accommodation is single-floor, limiting scope for expansion but supporting hands-off ownership for a buy-to-let investor seeking town-centre exposure.
