This substantial freehold high-street building sits on St John Street in Newport Pagnell, offering flexible commercial space with residential accommodation above. The ground floor benefits from Use Class E, while the upper floors are residential — suitable for owner-occupation or rental income. The long L-shaped plan and private access points create clear potential to split into multiple units (up to four) or to reconfigure for a single larger business.
The site includes circa 0.212 acres of plot and one dedicated off-street parking space, with additional customer parking directly outside and a public car park opposite. The town centre position provides steady pedestrian catchment and good links to Milton Keynes and the M1, supporting a range of uses from retail and café to office, health & beauty or leisure.
Buyers should note the building is partly derelict externally and will require renovation works to the façade and internal finishes; the ground floor previously operated as a restaurant and has been vacant for several years. There is a medium flood risk for the area and local crime is above average—both are material considerations for occupiers and insurers.
For investors or owner-occupiers wanting flexibility, the property’s newly renovated residential areas with private access, combined with the option to create separate titles and new longer leases, offer straightforward routes to secure rental income or to tailor the site for multiple businesses. Planning and refurbishment budgets will be needed to realise the full potential.
