Description

Offered at auction, this substantial freehold Grade II Listed building is arranged over a basement, ground floor and two upper floors, with vacant possession. The ground floor comprises a main showroom, office, cloakroom and storage, while the first floor has an open-plan area and WC. The second floor is also open plan, and a large basement provides further space. The property is on King Street, between York Road and Alexandra Road, close to local shops and the town-centre amenities around Market Gates. Great Yarmouth railway station and local bus services are nearby, with road connections via the A47 and A149. St George’s Park, Bure Park, the Venetian Waterways and the seafront are also within the surrounding area. The building may suit a range of commercial uses. Residential redevelopment, potentially retaining a ground-floor commercial unit with flats above, is also suggested, subject to planning permission and all necessary consents. Buyers should make their own enquiries, including regarding the building’s listed status, services and condition. Auction buyers should also note the stated £1,800 inclusive-of-VAT contract documentation fee and check the sale conditions for any additional charges.

39out of 100
Grade ELow opportunity

Confidence: LOW

This scores 39/100, grade E: the strong point is the scale and character of a vacant Grade II Listed building, with a prominent historic frontage, open-plan floors and a large basement. The photographed showroom has worn flooring and damaged or peeling finishes, giving a clear starting point for improvement, but the images do not establish the condition of the full property or roof. Residential redevelopment is described as a possibility subject to planning permission and consents, not a certainty; the listed status also means alterations may need specialist assessment and approvals.

At £90,000, value versus local £/sqf cannot be judged because the floor area is missing. The limited condition and economics scores reflect the incomplete information, so this is a substantial, high-uncertainty project rather than a straightforward value call.

Key opportunities

  • The multi-storey layout, open-plan upper floors and large basement offer scope to rethink how the building is used, subject to consents.
  • The prominent historic brick and stone frontage and listed features provide character to retain and work with.
  • The existing showroom arrangement and visible staircase give a clear starting point for improving the ground-floor commercial space.

Key risks

  • This is a substantial multi-floor building with visibly damaged finishes and worn flooring in the showroom; bringing it into use could require a major, carefully budgeted programme rather than a cosmetic refresh.
  • The building’s listed status may constrain alterations and require specialist assessment and approvals.
  • The photographs do not establish the condition of most of the accommodation or the roof, leaving important parts of the project scope uncertain.
