Summary - 15-17, GATEFORD ROAD S80 1DY
1 bed 1 bath Hairdresser / Barber Shop
Iconic double-fronted salon with rear parking and conversion potential — strong town centre visibility..
Double-fronted Victorian corner shop with excellent street visibility
A rare freehold opportunity on Gateford Road: this double-fronted Victorian salon has traded as a local landmark for over 40 years and benefits from excellent shopfront visibility and steady pedestrian footfall. The ground floor is largely fitted as a functioning hairdressing salon with six wash basins, multiple workstations, ceramic tiled floor and a striking spiral staircase to the first floor. A public car park immediately to the rear and vehicular rear access with a yard add practical customer convenience and basic loading/parking.
The first floor provides ancillary accommodation currently arranged with kitchen, lounge, shower room and storage. There is clear scope to reconfigure the upper floor to a self-contained flat or to extend commercial uses, subject to obtaining the necessary planning and building consents. The property’s compact 371 sq ft footprint and small overall size mean any conversion will need careful design to maximise usable space.
Investment and owner-occupier buyers should note material considerations: the property sits in a very deprived area with very high local crime rates and a Transitional Eastern European neighbourhood profile; these factors may affect rental levels, insurance costs and tenant demand. Tenure is recorded as unknown — buyers should verify title and any existing legal or statutory obligations before committing. The building’s interior has dated elements (hexagonal floor tiles, suspended ceilings) that will require updating for many alternative uses.
Overall this is a visible, adaptable town-centre asset suited to investors or hands-on owner-operators seeking an affordable freehold with mixed-use potential. It offers immediate trading capability as a salon, plus short- to medium-term upside from reconfiguration or lettable first-floor accommodation, provided consent and investment are secured.
