A unique freehold opportunity offering a prominent ground floor commercial unit with spacious upper accommodation, ideal for investors or owner occupiers seeking flexibility, strong visibility and potential residential income. The property is currently under offer and occupies a well positioned site in Southend on Sea.
The ground floor provides approximately 916 sq. ft. of commercial space with a fully glazed frontage and entrance leading into a former café and seating area with main sales space. There is also a smaller partitioned room of approximately 58 sq. ft., a separate storage room of around 70 sq. ft., and a door to the rear. Additional access is available via a side entrance with UPVC window and door, enhancing operational flexibility.
The first floor is accessed via external stairs to the rear and comprises a hallway leading to a fitted kitchen of approximately 80 sq. ft. and a modern shower room of approximately 70 sq. ft. The main upper area is a large open plan space of around 430 sq. ft., benefiting from a bay window and additional windows to the front and rear, creating a bright and versatile environment.
Externally, the property benefits from parking for one to two vehicles at the rear along with a private courtyard garden area. The first floor was previously arranged as a one bedroom flat, with the bedroom removed to support business expansion. Subject to the necessary planning consents, there is clear potential to reinstate the residential accommodation, which could achieve an estimated rental income of approximately £950 to £975 per calendar month.
This is an excellent freehold opportunity combining commercial use, development potential and long term investment appeal. Early enquiries are strongly recommended.
