High-street shop with garden and conversion potential, sold at auction..
High-street retail unit with shuttered frontage
Rear kitchen, toilet facilities and yard access
Separate entrance and small side garden
Flexible layout: 3 rooms + kitchen + bathroom
Victorian two-storey brick; period character intact
Needs renovation; refurbishment required throughout
Sold at auction; tenure not stated
Above-average local crime; planning permission needed for conversion
A versatile high-street property on Mayfair Road offering a ground-floor retail unit with rear kitchen, WC and yard, plus a separate entrance and small side garden. The flexible layout currently provides three rooms, kitchen and bathroom — comfortable for owner-occupation or rental while requiring refurbishment.
Strong development upside: planning could allow conversion to two self-contained flats, or the possible addition of an extra floor to create multiple flats (all subject to planning permission). The Victorian two-storey brick construction retains period character but will need careful renovation and updating to realise full value.
Important practical notes for buyers: the property will be sold at auction, tenure is not stated, and the building needs renovation. The local area records above-average crime rates, which may affect lettability or resale in the short term. Broadband and mobile signal are good, and there is no flooding risk.
Suitable for investors and small developers seeking a value-add project in a busy town location. The former convenience store location and nearby amenities, bus routes and schools support immediate commercial or residential use once refurbished and legally authorised.
