Description

Description

The former Co Op occupies a prominent position within a small terrace of properties that includes residential and commercial. The terrace benefits from a wide pavement area to the front and some limited on street parking opposite. The property is spread over three floors, with the former Co Op to the ground floor and five fully let flats to the first and second floors. To the rear of the ground floor are two small enclosed yard areas with access via the former trading area.

Location

Walton Street is situated in the Jericho conservation area, flanked on the western side by the River Thames and Port Meadow, and to the east by the River Cherwell and the University Parks. This vibrant neighbourhood, steeped in history, has evolved into a thriving and cosmopolitan residential hotspot, with cafes, bustling pubs, restaurants, cinema, and a cultural scene offering a plethora of events, art exhibitions, and live performances throughout the year. Central north Oxford is particularly popular for its proximity to the wide range of popular schooling and its easy access to the city centre. Oxford University occupies a number of buildings along Walton Street including the Radcliffe Observatory Quarter opposite, with the Oxford University Press in very close proximity to the former Co Op. The former Co Op is also close to Oxford train station and is in an area popular with students.

The Opportunity

The property presents an excellent opportunity to acquire a fully let block of accommodation in a highly desirable area of Oxford, that is popular with professionals and students. The ground floor former Co Op convenience store is due to close and will be relocating into an already established Co Op further along Walton Street. This part of the property will have a restrictive covenant in place so a purchaser will not be able to re-open this area as a convenience store or off-licence in the future. The trading area would suit a number of alternative uses that could include a coffee shop, office or residential accommodation subject to planning.
