High Street, Chatham, Kent, ME4 4DS

This substantial freehold property in the centre of Chatham presents a unique investment opportunity with considerable renovation potential. Spanning nearly 4,900 sq ft across four floors and a basement, the building currently operates as a commercial restaurant/bar on the ground floor, featuring extensive kitchen facilities and two trading areas. Above this, an independent five-bedroom maisonette provides additional residential accommodation. The layout consists of a basement perfect for storage or prep work, while the ground floor includes two interconnected commercial spaces complete with bar and kitchen areas. The upper levels offer versatile living arrangements that could easily be adapted into a high-yield House in Multiple Occupation (HMO) or subdivided into apartments, given the successful precedents set by neighbouring properties. With its prime High Street location near shopping amenities and public transport options, this property is positioned well to benefit from the ongoing regeneration in the area. It offers various avenues for income generation—whether through retaining its current commercial use while leasing out the residential space, transforming it entirely into separate flats subject to planning consent, or exploring HMO opportunities. Given its size and configuration, this property not only serves immediate needs but also allows for strategic long-term investments in a bustling area that continues to attract interest from developers and investors alike.
