Being sold via Secure Sale online bidding. Terms & Conditions apply. Starting Bid £295,000

A rare opportunity to acquire a substantial freehold commercial building occupying a prominent corner position on Market Street, in the heart of Crewkerne’s established and thriving town centre.

Currently arranged as three separate ground floor retail units, the property offers exceptional flexibility for owner occupiers, investors or developers. It is sold with vacant possession and no onward chain, providing a clear route for immediate occupation, refurbishment or redevelopment.

Subject to the necessary planning consents, the building presents significant scope for alternative uses, including reconfiguration of the existing commercial layout, mixed use redevelopment, or residential conversion above or within the building. Its scale, position and frontage make it an attractive proposition for those seeking to maximise future potential.

Market Street is home to a strong mix of independent retailers, cafés, professional services and national occupiers, generating consistent pedestrian footfall throughout the day. Nearby multiple retailers include Hays Travel and Boots the Chemist, reinforcing the strength of the location.

Crewkerne is a vibrant South Somerset market town offering excellent amenities, supermarkets, schools and leisure facilities, together with convenient road links via the A30, A303 (6 miles) and onward connection to the M5 at Taunton (25 miles). Crewkerne railway station provides direct services to London Waterloo and Exeter, enhancing the town’s regional connectivity.

Whether you are looking to expand your commercial portfolio, occupy the premises for your own business, or unlock the site’s future development potential (subject to planning), this freehold property represents an exciting and increasingly rare opportunity in a strong town centre location.
