FOR SALE – FREEHOLD MIXED-USE PROPERTY – STATION ROAD, WESTGATE-ON-SEA

An opportunity to acquire a substantial freehold mixed-use property situated in a prominent position on Station Road, Westgate-on-Sea.

The property comprises a ground floor retail unit with ancillary lower ground floor accommodation, together with two self-contained one-bedroom flats accessed via a separate residential entrance.

The commercial accommodation extends to approximately 474 sq.ft on the ground floor and is currently arranged as open retail space. A lower ground floor of approximately 545 sq.ft provides additional accommodation comprising a storeroom and kitchenette. The retail unit is currently occupied, producing an income of £833 per quarter, with the tenant remaining in occupation on a rolling basis following the expiry of the lease. This allows greater opportunity for a new Landlord to either renew the lease at current market rate or seek a new commercial occupant of which we estimate the appropriate rent to be between £850-£900pcm.

The residential accommodation comprises two self-contained one-bedroom flats arranged over the upper floors:

Flat 1 – Approximately 556 sq.ft
Flat 2 – Approximately 512 sq.ft

Both flats are currently vacant and have been recently redecorated throughout, presenting an excellent opportunity for a purchaser to introduce long-term tenants immediately or explore alternative income opportunities, subject to any necessary consents.

Located within the heart of Westgate-on-Sea's commercial centre and a short walk to two blue flag recommended sandy bays, the property benefits from a range of nearby shops, cafés, local amenities and transport links, including Westgate-on-Sea railway station. The combination of commercial accommodation and vacant residential units offers purchasers flexibility to enhance income and maximise the property's future potential.
