Compact commercial opportunity with clear refurbishment upside near major routes.
Freehold single-storey former police station, 807 sq ft
A compact single-storey former police station occupying a prominent Rayleigh Road position, offered freehold. The 807 sq ft layout includes a public lobby, several individual offices, kitchenette and a rear garage/store — a practical shell for a buyer seeking a commercial asset or alternative use (subject to planning).
Transport links are a genuine asset: the property sits close to the A127 with easy vehicular access to the M25 and surrounding towns. It adjoins a pay-and-display car park and sits in a mixed residential and commercial neighbourhood with strong local amenities and good public transport.
The building requires renovation and updating: low ceiling heights, dated mid-20th-century fabric and an EPC rating of D (93). These factors lower immediate rental potential but open scope for value-add refurbishment, repurposing or redevelopment (STP). Buyers should allow budget for internal works and confirm the current rates payable with the local council.
This is best suited to investors, small businesses or developers seeking a roadside commercial site with clear repositioning potential. The compact footprint and prominent frontage create straightforward signage and access opportunities, while proximity to local schools and shops supports a steady local customer base.
