A substantial 1,026 sq.ft Victorian end-terrace property on Leigh Road, offered with vacant possession and scope for owner-occupation or commercial investment. The building includes ground and first-floor accommodation, kitchenette, W/C and a large rear parking area—useful for staff, customers or redevelopment access.
The property sits within the new Use Class E, broadening options for retail, professional services, café, clinic or office use; there is additionally scope to extend or redevelop (buyers should confirm planning with the local authority). The guide price of £270,000 and a Rateable Value of £16,400 reflect clear upside for refurbishment or reconfiguration.
Known practical points are straightforward: gas boiler and radiators, double glazing added post-2002, and an EPC band E (115). The building is Victorian (pre-1900) with likely cavity walls assumed to be uninsulated, so buyers should factor potential thermal upgrades and running-cost improvements into budgets.
Material drawbacks: the immediate area records very high crime levels, which can affect lettability and insurance costs. Interested parties should also verify tenure, VAT position and any planning constraints before committing. Overall this is a flexible, well-located property with parking and clear redevelopment potential for the right buyer.
