Description
A substantial freehold building on a prominent corner site, arranged over basement, ground, first and second floors. The property extends to approximately 6,490 sq ft GIA and is offered with vacant possession. It was previously used as a public house and more recently for community and event activities, with large open areas and ancillary rooms across the existing accommodation.
The detached building has extensive frontage, vehicular access and a secure external area. Its established mixed-use planning status and existing layout may suit refurbishment or a change of use, subject to the necessary consents. The listing also identifies potential for additional floors or a residential-led scheme, subject to planning permission and feasibility. The property is marketed as a development and investment opportunity in an established, well-connected residential area.
WHOTS analysis
Our WHOTS verdict
An internal assessment of the opportunity to acquire, improve and create value.
77out of 100
Grade BGood opportunity
Confidence: MEDIUM
At £1.8m, this is exceptionally cheap against the local average on a floor-area basis: about £322/sq ft versus £981. That gives the project a compelling acquisition angle, although the building’s former pub and community use means any residential-led plans and layout changes need careful design and consent checks.
The substantial corner building offers generous open spaces across multiple levels, extensive frontage and a secure paved external area. Inside, commercial fixtures, worn flooring and a deteriorated kitchen ceiling point to a heavy, whole-building programme rather than a cosmetic refresh; the brick exterior appears generally intact in the photos, but the roof condition cannot be assessed from them.
Key opportunities
- Rework the large former function and bar spaces, across several levels, into a considered layout suited to the intended use.
- Make the extensive frontage and prominent corner position a defining feature of a repurposing or residential-led scheme, subject to the necessary consents.
- The secure paved external area and vehicular access add useful flexibility to a substantial detached building.
Key risks
- Stripped-back commercial interiors, damaged flooring and deteriorated finishes make this a heavy multi-level rebuild programme; allow for substantial design, coordination and time rather than a cosmetic refresh.
- The kitchen ceiling has extensive peeling finish, and the roof condition cannot be determined from the available photographs.
