Description
Offered at auction, this freehold property combines a ground-floor café with a one-bedroom flat above. The café has a customer seating area, food preparation facilities and a rear garden arranged for outdoor seating. The flat provides separate living accommodation, with a lounge, bedroom, kitchen and shower room. The property is being sold with vacant possession following the owners' retirement. Located on Eastney Road in a mixed residential and commercial area, it is close to Southsea seafront, Bransbury Park and local amenities. The existing café use and residential accommodation offer scope for an owner-operator or other purchaser, while any change of use would be subject to the necessary consents. Buyers should note the modern method of auction terms, including a reservation fee and a 56-day completion period.
WHOTS analysis
Our WHOTS verdict
An internal assessment of the opportunity to acquire, improve and create value.
79out of 100
Grade BGood opportunity
Confidence: MEDIUM
This freehold café with a one-bedroom flat above offers an unusual live-and-work or investment proposition, with customer seating in an enclosed rear garden and a 4-star food hygiene rating. The flat is clean and usable, with scope for light cosmetic updating rather than a major renovation.
Key opportunities
- Acquire the freehold at a notably low asking price relative to local £/sqf.
- Combine the café with a one-bedroom flat above for an owner-operator setup or potential additional rental income.
- Build on the existing enclosed garden seating and consider modest cosmetic updates to the clean but dated flat.
Key risks
- The condition and ongoing requirements of the café's commercial systems and equipment cannot be confirmed from photographs.
- Check the decking, fencing and timber structures in the garden for maintenance needs.
