Rotterdam Road, Lowestoft

Offered with vacant possession, this substantial mid-terraced mixed-use property presents an exciting opportunity for investors, developers and experienced renovators seeking a project with significant potential. Comprising a former ground-floor commercial unit and a self-contained two-bedroom flat above, the property requires a comprehensive programme of refurbishment throughout and is suitable for cash buyers only.

Having remained vacant for a number of years, both the commercial and residential elements now require extensive improvement works. However, the property's flexible layout and mixed-use configuration offer a range of possibilities for those looking to add value, generate rental income or explore alternative uses, subject to the necessary planning permissions and building regulation approvals.

The ground-floor shop extends to approximately 47 sq m and has historically served a variety of uses, including as a newsagent. The accommodation currently comprises a main retail area, office and store rooms, providing a blank canvas for refurbishment or potential reconfiguration.

Accessed independently via a side entrance, the first-floor flat offers two-bedroom accommodation and benefits from double glazing. The flat requires complete modernisation, including the installation of a new kitchen and bathroom, alongside a full scheme of updating and repair throughout. Existing accommodation includes a landing, sitting room, kitchen, bathroom, two bedrooms and a wooden balcony.

Outside, the property benefits from a front forecourt and an enclosed rear garden which is currently overgrown and in need of attention. There is also a wooden outbuilding and outside WC, while the rear offers potential for off-road parking, subject to the necessary consents.

The property may appeal to those considering conversion into residential accommodation, including the potential creation of two self-contained flats or a single dwelling, subject to obtaining the relevant permissions.
