Mixed use property comprising a ground floor retail unit (currently vacant) with a 3 bedroom maisonette above. We estimate the rental value of the shop, once let, to be in the region of £12,000 per annum. The maisonette is let at £947.40 per calendar month, with potential for rental growth. Once fully let, the property therefore offers the potential to produce a gross annual rent in the region of £23,368.
LOCATION
The property is situated on Soundwell Road, just a short distance from the High Street in Staple Hill. Its position offers easy access to a variety of local shops, cafes, and amenities, making it a convenient and desirable location for both residents and visitors.
TENURE
Understood to be freehold.
OUTSIDE
Garden to the rear, accessed via the retail unit.
BUSINESS RATES
The rateable value for the shop with effect from 2026 is £8,100. We therefore would expect those eligible for small business relief to benefit from 100% exemption at this time. However, we advise all interested parties to confirm directly with the local authority.
