A rare Grade II listed mid- and late-15th century terrace on Willow Street, this small three-bedroom character property combines historic features with mixed-use potential. Original beams, exposed floorboards and a long ground-floor showroom with full shop frontage create immediate appeal for a business operator, boutique retailer or buyer seeking a distinctive residence with an income stream. The property includes substantial outbuildings (one with double doors suitable for vehicle storage) and an extra apartment-style room, offering flexible space for workshop, storage or conversion.
Practical considerations are important: the building’s listed status means any alterations will need specialist consent and may limit permitted changes. Heating information is mixed on record (gas boiler in utility but main heating listed as electric storage heaters); secondary glazing is installed and walls are solid brick with internal insulation. The total internal area is small (approximately 379 sq ft) so living rooms and circulation feel compact despite generous ceiling heights in places.
Location strengths include excellent mobile signal, fast broadband and town-centre amenities nearby. Downsides to factor into investment or family plans are the very high local crime rate and very deprived area classification, which will influence rental demand, insurance and future resale. Buyers should commission a conservation-aware survey, confirm services and tenancy/business-rate positions, and check right-of-way arrangements for the adjacent property before committing.
For an investor or creative owner-occupier prepared to work within conservation constraints, this property offers characterful town-centre prominence, immediate trading potential from the showroom and scope to add value through sensitive refurbishment and reconfiguration.
