Mixed-Use Investment Opportunity with Substantial Five-Bedroom Maisonette and Established Commercial Income

An exceptional opportunity to acquire a substantial mixed-use freehold property comprising two income-producing commercial units and an impressive five-bedroom maisonette extending over three floors, offering approximately 192 sq m (2,067 sq ft) of spacious residential accommodation.

The residential accommodation is accessed independently via a private side passage between Wincheap and Simmonds Road, providing excellent separation from the commercial premises below. Arranged over three floors, the generously proportioned maisonette offers versatile living space ideal for owner-occupiers, large families or investors seeking additional rental potential.

Externally, the residential element benefits from a beautifully landscaped rear garden, creating an attractive outdoor space with mature planting and well-maintained raised vegetable beds, offering a rare feature for a property of this type. The property also benefits from off-road parking to the side and rear, providing valuable convenience for the residential accommodation.

The commercial accommodation occupies the ground floor and is fully let, generating a combined annual rental income of £32,500 per annum from two established tenants:

Unit 1 (Right-Hand Side) – Let to Tuppers Tux, comprising approximately 56 sq m (603 sq ft). The premises are currently occupied under a rolling tenancy, producing £9,000 per annum, with discussions surrounding new lease terms potentially being arranged.

Unit 2 (Left-Hand Side) – Let to Escape Kent at a rent of £23,500 per annum. The tenant occupies the premises under a 10-year lease expiring November 2028, providing secure, established income.

This property presents an excellent opportunity for investors seeking a mixed-use asset with immediate income and future asset management potential, whilst also appealing to owner-occupiers looking to combine substantial residential accommodation with commercial investment income.

Early viewing is highly recommended to appreciate the scale of the accommodation, quality of the outdoor space, parking facilities and investment potential on offer.
