This detached mixed-use property offers a unique opportunity for renovation and investment, featuring two-bedroom accommodation above a space that was previously utilized as a fish and chips shop. Conveniently situated along a busy main road approximately three miles from Reading Town Centre, the location benefits from high visibility and accessibility, drawing traffic from both surrounding commercial and residential areas.
The ground floor contains a single-fronted retail space (approximately 17'11" x 16'2", totaling about 285 sq. ft.) equipped with the remnants of its former use—a fish and chips counter, including commercial kitchen elements like a potato peeler and an industrial chip maker. Adjacent to the retail area is a living room (approx. 15'06" x 11'06", around 175 sq. ft.) and an inner hall providing side access. The breakfast room/kitchen (approx. 12'8" x 10', roughly 125 sq. ft.) features fitted cupboards along with a walk-in pantry.
On the first floor, you'll find two spacious bedrooms (Bedroom One: approx. 17'11" x 15'10"; Bedroom Two: approx. 16'1" x 11'6", both approximately 280 sq. ft.), alongside a compact bathroom (approx. 6'2" x 5'10") equipped with essential fixtures including a bath, wash basin, and toilet.
The semi-basement area has limited headroom but comprises around 400 sq. ft., previously serving as preparation space for the fish shop—offering additional potential for storage or other uses.
Externally, the property features a forecourt with parking for up to two vehicles and side access leading to an expansive rear garden area (approximately 5,900 sq. ft.). This space presents considerable development potential subject to obtaining appropriate planning permission.
Recent updates include a new roof installed in July 2021, enhancing the property’s overall structure. The property has been held by the same ownership for over four decades and has not operated as a fish shop for roughly eight years, making this an ideal candidate for revitalization or conversion into new ventures tailored to current market demands.
With an EPC rating of E-123 and a rateable value of £6,700—eligible for small business rate relief—this property invites creative visionaries looking to capitalize on its mixed-use capabilities in a prime location.
