1256 sqftDescription
A Victorian freehold property in the centre of South Brent, currently arranged as a former hair and beauty salon and offered with vacant possession. The ground floor includes a shop area, rear staff room or office and a WC. The building was converted to its current use around five years ago and has oak-effect flooring, a modern kitchen and electric room heaters.
The first floor is arranged with a kitchen, WC and three further rooms. The layout has previously accommodated a two-bedroom flat, and residential reconfiguration is suggested, subject to the necessary planning and other consents. The property has also been used as a bank and retail premises, giving scope to consider commercial, residential or live/work use, subject to verification.
The property is freehold and lies within South Brent Conservation Area and Dartmoor National Park. There is no parking, and the sale is subject to a flying freehold. Buyers should make their own enquiries about the title, permitted use and any consents required for a change of use.
WHOTS analysis
Our WHOTS verdict
An internal assessment of the opportunity to acquire, improve and create value.
65out of 100
Grade CPotential opportunity
Confidence: LOW
At £190,000, this is a notably low-priced opportunity on a floor-area basis: about £151/sqf against a local average of £308/sqf. The Victorian terrace is clean and presentable, with generous street-facing commercial space and a history of both retail and residential use. Its current salon fit-out means the main appeal is the chance to reshape the space into a live/work property or explore residential accommodation, subject to planning and other consents.
Key opportunities
- Acquire at a strong price relative to local £/sqf, with vacant possession.
- Rework the generous salon floor into a tailored business or live/work space, making use of its large street-facing windows.
- Explore the property's former flat use and potential upper-floor apartment configuration, subject to planning and other consents.
Key risks
- The flying freehold and any planning or change-of-use requirements should be checked before committing to a proposed residential layout.
- Electric room heaters only are installed, and the EPC rating is E; factor the existing heating and energy performance into plans.
