A substantial single-storey retail unit occupying 2,352 sq.ft in the pedestrianised heart of Chatham High Street. The glazed shopfront and recessed central entrance give direct access to strong footfall generated by nearby national anchors and busy town-centre amenity. Offered freehold at £465,000, the layout suits a range of retail, service or office conversions subject to planning consent.
The unit’s scale and continuous high-street frontage are the principal value drivers for investors or businesses seeking a prominent trading position. Excellent mobile signal and fast broadband support modern retail or click-and-collect operations. Immediate proximity to parking, major retailers and leisure amenities helps sustain daytime customer flows.
Buyers should note clear material drawbacks: the location sits within an area classified as deprived, with very high local crime rates and a high flood risk. There is no private external space and the property forms part of a continuous terrace, limiting scope for expansion without neighbouring acquisitions. Any change of use or significant internal works will require relevant consents and may reveal refurbishment needs.
This freehold represents an opportunity for an investor seeking a large high-street footprint with conversion potential, or an operator wanting direct town-centre exposure. Assessments of security measures, flood mitigation and intended use compliance are recommended before purchase.
