Description

This freehold industrial unit presents an appealing opportunity for owner-occupiers, investors, and developers alike. For the first time in over 35 years, this property is available on the market, allowing for a range of possibilities tailored to its next chapter. Currently configured as a single-storey workshop with both pitched and flat roofing, the space encompasses a main workshop area of approximately 101 sqm and an additional storage room spanning around 26 sqm. The total site area is approximately 214.4 sqm, providing ample room for various uses. While it is presently utilized for motorcycle repairs and MOT services, the property holds potential for alternative applications, including residential development, pending necessary planning approvals. Located on Brightwell Crescent near its junction with Bickersteth Road, this site benefits from its proximity to key transport links and amenities. Situated about six miles south of Central London and within a mile of Wandsworth Common, it’s also conveniently close to Tooting High Street (A24) — just 0.4 miles away — making it accessible via Tooting Broadway Station (Northern Line) and Tooting Overground Station (Thameslink), both within walking distance. The surrounding area boasts a mix of major retail operators such as Primark and TK Maxx as well as popular eateries like Honest Burgers and numerous renowned curry houses. This blend of established chains and independent boutiques contributes to its status as a vibrant South London hotspot. Current use class falls under Class E, enabling various commercial or community-oriented developments. Prospective buyers are encouraged to conduct their own due diligence regarding planning permissions with the local authority in Wandsworth. Unconditional offers are preferred; however, considerations for subject-to-planning agreements or delayed completions may also be entertained. This property represents a unique investment opportunity for those looking to capitalize on its strategic location and redevelopment potential.
