The Holly Tree, 32 Dermody Road, Lewisham, London, SE13

The Holly Tree is a characterful end-of-terrace freehold property offering a rare mixed-use investment opportunity in the heart of Lewisham. The upper floors comprise an 8-bedroom House in Multiple Occupation (HMO), fully let and generating a strong and consistent income stream. The ground floor and basement—formerly operating as a public house—are currently vacant, offering excellent scope for repositioning, re-letting, or redevelopment, subject to the necessary consents.

Above, the property benefits from an unused attic space with further development potential. Additionally, there may be an opportunity to extend the property to the rear to create additional accommodation or reconfigure the commercial layout, subject to planning permission.

This asset presents both immediate income and significant asset management and development upside, making it suitable for investors seeking stable yield with long-term enhancement potential.
