Description

A mixed-use development opportunity comprising commercial premises at the end of a High Street terrace in Old Whittington, on the north side of Chesterfield. The listing states that planning permission was granted on 21 October 2023 for partial demolition, alterations and extensions to create three shop units and six one-bedroom apartments over the first and second floors. The proposed apartments range from 43.5 to 55 square metres, each with an open-plan living and kitchen area, a separate bedroom and bathroom. The revised scheme described includes off-street parking for five vehicles, a widened access from Station Road, separate pedestrian access, cycle storage and an internal bin store. The site is within walking distance of the Chesterfield Canal and is described as having access to local amenities, schools, Chesterfield station and routes to the M1, Sheffield and Dronfield. The Old Whittington Conservation Area is to the north of the site. Buyers should verify the current planning position, approved drawings and implementation requirements.

WHOTS analysis

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

25out of 100
Grade ELow opportunity

Confidence: LOW

The standout is the scale of the consented scheme: this prominent corner site is presented as a conversion and extension opportunity for three shop units and six one-bedroom apartments, with parking, cycle storage and an amenity area shown in the proposed plans. The existing commercial buildings have weathered, dated exteriors and a hard-surfaced rear yard, so this is a substantial redevelopment project rather than a cosmetic refresh; the CGI does not establish the condition of any completed interiors.

At £400,000, the asking price looks very dear against the local £/sqf benchmark, which weighs heavily on the overall opportunity score. The scheme’s planning status and delivery details need checking, and the available information is not enough to assess renovation economics. Overall, the site has a distinctive conversion proposition, but the price makes it a weak-value opportunity at present.

Key opportunities

  • Rework the prominent end-of-terrace commercial buildings into the stated mix of three shop units and six one-bedroom apartments, subject to verifying the consent and scheme.
  • The proposed layout includes off-street parking, cycle storage and an amenity area, offering scope to deliver a more complete mixed-use scheme.
  • The existing hard-surfaced rear yard and weathered exterior provide a clear canvas for reshaping the site and improving its street presence.

Key risks

  • The weathered existing buildings and extensive partial-demolition, extension and conversion scope point to a major budget and programme commitment, not a cosmetic refresh.
  • The £400,000 asking price looks dear against the local £/sqf benchmark, while the available information is insufficient to assess renovation economics.
