Description

Boston is an active market town that boasts a robust retail landscape with a catchment area of over 130,000 shoppers and a resident population of approximately 68,000. Conveniently positioned, it lies 115 miles north of London and offers easy access to surrounding cities such as Lincoln (35 miles southeast), Nottingham (40 miles east), and King’s Lynn (35 miles west). The property itself occupies the first and second floors of a prominent building in Boston's central retail district, where foot traffic is consistently high. The immediate area features well-known retailers including Caffè Nero, Next, New Look, and others, contributing to a vibrant commercial environment that enhances its appeal. Currently configured as a mix of spacious storage and ancillary areas, the upper floors present significant renovation potential. With ample square footage—1,535 sqft on the first floor and 999 sqft on the second—there is considerable flexibility in how the space could be utilized. A conversion into residential apartments or even co-living spaces would meet the growing demand for urban living within town centers, subject to obtaining the appropriate planning approvals. The building retains character features alongside high ceilings and plenty of natural light which further support creative redevelopment ideas. The prime location not only facilitates easy access to shops, cafés, and essential services but also ensures excellent transport links for future residents. This urban setting presents an attractive opportunity for professionals and commuters alike. Offering a freehold interest in this sought-after area allows investors to capitalize on Boston's dynamic market trends. The property is available on a leasehold basis with 999 years remaining, and there is potential for negotiation regarding planning offers. For those interested in exploring the possibilities this space holds, viewings can be arranged through the agent upon request.
