Summary - 5 Shortbridge Street,NEWTOWN,SY16 2LW SY16 2LW
1 bed 1 bath Commercial Property
Town-centre property with conversion potential and long-standing retail use.
Prominent corner Grade II listed three-storey retail building
A prominent Grade II listed three-storey retail building on Shortbridge Street, offered freehold with a generous gross internal area of 133 sq.m (approx. 1,432 sq.ft). The ground floor has traded as a china, glass and gift shop for over 30 years and benefits from large corner shopfront windows, good natural light and direct street access. A useful rear yard and external store add practical storage and service options.
The first and second floors provide storage, kitchen and washroom facilities; the second floor comprises three rooms and is suitable for conversion into a self-contained flat subject to local authority and listed-building consents. That conversion potential — plus the building’s central town-centre position — creates clear income or owner-occupier upside for an investor or small business looking to add residential value or expand commercial floorspace.
Buyers should note material constraints: the property is Grade II listed, so alterations will be restricted and require listed building consent. The area records very high crime levels and significant deprivation, and the immediate neighbourhood is described as transitional with a notable Eastern European community. The commercial EPC is D (83) and valid to December 2034.
Offered at £200,000, the building suits an investor or developer comfortable working with heritage buildings and local planning processes. Practical strengths are the corner location, long-established retail use, conversion scope (subject to consents) and immediate footfall from town-centre amenities; challenges are listed-status restrictions, local socioeconomic issues and likely need for refurbishment and compliance works before residential conversion or modernisation.
