37 Wainscott Road, Wainscott, Rochester, Kent, ME2 4LA
Currently let at £51,600 per annum - Plus vacant top floor flat and vacant shop
Key Features
A mixed use investment located in Wainscott on the outskirts of the Medway towns, with good access to Gillingham and Rochester with their amenities and mainline railway stations and good links to the M2 motorway.
The building is arranged as two lock up shops to the front, a car body shop and car sales forecourt to the rear. The upper parts have residential use and are currently arranged as a three-bedroom self-contained flat on the first floor and four separate letting rooms on the second floor. There are four parking spaces to the front of the property for the two lock up shops and a communal W.C. to the rear of the site for the commercial parts.
The property has always been in the same family ownership and we understand the tenant of the car body shop has been in occupation for approximately 20 years; the car sales forecourt tenant has been in occupation for approximately 12 years. One of the lock up shops is trading as a barbers with a lease running until 2032 and we understand the same tenant also occupies the first floor three bedroom flat. The second lock up shop and the top floor are both currently vacant. The top floor was previously used as four letting rooms and there may be potential to convert this into a self-contained flat, subject to all necessary consents being obtainable.
