Freehold Investment/Development Opportunity – Offers in
Excess of £1,300,000
Discretion required- please do not visit the premises under
any circumstances without a prior appointment through us.
A rare opportunity to acquire a substantial mid-terrace
period freehold property in a highly desirable location, offering significant
potential for refurbishment, redevelopment, or long-term investment. Situated
in a prominent position, the building benefits from excellent visibility and
access. Please note that the building is listed.
The building comprises approximately 5,036 sq ft across four levels. The ground floor and lower ground floor, measuring approximately 2,105 sq ft and lower level of 271 sq ft respectively, will be sold with vacant possession. These floors present a prime opportunity for retail, restaurant, office, showroom and many other users under ‘E’ use class.
Planning permission was previously granted (lapsed) for the creation of a three-bedroom flat in the additional first floor area towards the rear of the showroom. This space, which measures approximately 840 sq ft, is currently inaccessible except by ladder. It presents a valuable opportunity for redevelopment, subject to reinstating or renewing the planning approval. In addition, the property may offer scope for a full-height extension, including the potential to add windows to the side elevation, subject to the necessary planning consents.
The first and second floors, currently let to Knights Solicitors, generate a rental income of £18,500 per annum. The lease expired two years ago and we believe the original lease was drafted outside of the Landlord and Tenant Act 1954. The first floor comprises around 1,650 sq ft, and the second floor adds a further 1,010 sq ft.
This is an exciting prospect for investors or developers seeking to acquire a well-located freehold with flexible short-term income and
strong long-term income/development potential in a thriving and well-connected location.
Tunbridge Wells has excellent public
transport links nearby—providing easy access to Central London and surrounding
boroughs. The location is popular with both residential and commercial
occupiers, making it ideal for mixed-use development or reconfiguration to
maximise rental yields.
