This end-of-terrace commercial building stands at a prominent corner location along Acre Lane, an area noted for its vibrant mix of independent retailers, cafes, and bars. The property is conveniently situated about 800 meters from both Clapham North and Brixton Tube stations, enhancing its accessibility and appeal for potential tenants or buyers.
The structure features three stories of predominantly brick construction and includes commercial space in the basement alongside a single-storey rear extension. The net internal area (NIA) measures approximately 2,166 square feet, offering ample space for various uses under the E class designation. The layout allows access to the upper floors through a side entrance and provides a rear yard for additional functionality.
Historically, this property was utilized as commercial space with residential accommodations above. It has recently functioned as a restaurant and presents clear opportunities for redevelopment. Potential investors may find value in converting it into a mixed-use scheme that incorporates both commercial units on the ground floor and residential living spaces above. Achieving this would require obtaining necessary planning permissions, which are currently under consideration.
Recent planning history reveals activity around the site’s potential transformation. While one application was refused in August 2024 for an extensive overhaul involving new residential units, there has been another successful application in July 2025 that allows for refurbishments to improve the existing structure while enhancing its capacity with an eco-friendly green roof addition.
Furthermore, neighboring properties have successfully undergone similar transitions; for example, the adjacent building at 91 Acre Lane received approval in late 2004 to convert storage areas into self-contained residential units. This sets a precedent that could be beneficial for future proposals concerning this property.
Importantly, this site is not located within any flood risk zone or designated conservation area, making it more straightforward to pursue redevelopment efforts without additional regulatory burdens. Overall, with its strategic location and flexible use options, this property represents significant renovation and investment potential for those looking to capitalize on an evolving urban landscape.
