Retail property (high street)
3,260 sq ft / 303 sq m
Features and description
- Tenure: Freehold
- Well located retail units fronting popular free parking area adjacent to Victoria Road.
- 42 Victoria Road (523 sq ft) let to popular café.
- 44-46 Victoria Road (2,737 sq ft) provided with vacant possession.
- Excellent potential for infill development above vacant shop (subject to necessary consents).
The property comprises two ground floor commercial units located in the corner of a purpose built parade of shops.
42 Victoria Road is currently occupied as a café and is arranged internally with a customer seating area, kitchen with serving counter, WC and rear ancillary space. A flat is located above the property but this is not included having previously been sold off on a long leasehold interest.
44-46 Victoria Road comprises a large retail unit previously used as an electrical appliances showroom. The property benefits from a large open plan sales area together with rear storage, WC and ancillary space.
Both units benefit from rear loading access via a communal service road. 20 free communal customer car parking spaces are provided to the front of the units.
The properties are located in an excellent position within an established and popular retail parade fronting Victoria Road in Ferndown.
Nearby occupiers include Iceland, Costa, Poundland, Holland and Barrett, Boots, Pets Corner, Tesco Superstore, as well as a number of quality independent retail and leisure occupiers.
The properties form part of a larger mixed use development which provides retail accommodation on the ground floor and first floor residential accommodation arranged as separate flats, accessed from a communal external passageway. All of the ground floor shops have residential accommodation above, apart from 44-46 Victoria Road.
We consider there is excellent potential for an infill development above this property (whilst it is vacant), effectively completing the run of residential flats on the first floor (subject to planning permission and obtaining the necessary consents). An initial feasibility study has been undertaken illustrating the potential for two flats (1 x 2 bed and 1 x 3 bed). Indicative plans and elevations are attached. The proposed flats are anticipated to comply with Nationally described space standards 2015 and Approved Documents Part B and Part M.
