Description

This mixed-use property in Tow Law combines former pharmacy premises at ground-floor level with three-bedroom accommodation above. The ground floor includes a large shop area, a rear shop space, utility room, two storage rooms, rear hallway, WC and porch, as well as a lounge and staircase to the upper floor. Upstairs, the residential accommodation has three double bedrooms, a living room, kitchen/diner and bathroom. The description notes that this part of the property would benefit from refurbishment. Its layout may suit continued residential use or, subject to the necessary consents, adaptation for office or additional business space. The property occupies a prominent position on the A68 and has an enclosed rear yard. It offers scope for a purchaser to update the accommodation and consider how best to use the commercial and residential areas, with any proposed changes subject to the relevant permissions.

An internal assessment of the opportunity to acquire, improve and create value.

50out of 100
Grade DWeak opportunity

Confidence: LOW

At £124,950, this is a substantial mixed-use project with three-bedroom accommodation above generous former pharmacy premises. The stone frontage looks generally intact in the supplied views, while the dated residential finishes, worn floors and overgrown enclosed yard offer plenty of scope to reshape and refresh the property.

Key opportunities

  • Modernise the residential kitchen and bathroom, and refresh the worn floors and dated finishes.
  • Adapt the former pharmacy’s commercial areas and fixtures to suit a future business or investment plan, subject to any necessary consents.
  • Clear and improve the enclosed rear yard for more practical outdoor use.

Key risks

  • Dark staining is visible at the base of a ground-floor service-area wall; its cause and extent would need checking.
