Grade CPotential opportunity
Confidence: MEDIUM
At £135,000, this prominent corner property is priced attractively at £146/sq ft, around 19.5% below the local average—a strong entry point for a mixed-use project. The ground-floor commercial space looks clean and usable, while the dated bathroom and enclosed rear yard offer scope for targeted improvements. The listing also points to potential for a self-contained flat above the shop, though feasibility and any required consents would need checking. The renovation estimate is further provisional because photo coverage is limited.
Limited photo coverage means the renovation estimate is further provisional.
Key opportunities
- Acquire at a asking price notably below the local £/sq ft average.
- Make use of the prominent corner frontage and clean, usable ground-floor commercial space.
- Improve the enclosed rear yard and investigate the stated potential for a self-contained flat above, subject to feasibility and consents.
