Station Road, Liss, Hampshire

LOCATION: The property is well positioned for easy access to the village centre. Liss village, situated in the South Downs National Park, provides shops for all day-to-day needs, a mainline station to London Waterloo and Portsmouth, and schools for infants and juniors. The A3 bypasses the village, providing easy access to the south coast, the M25 and London to the north, with Heathrow and Gatwick airports both reachable in under an hour. The opening of the Hindhead tunnel has enhanced the attraction of this sought-after location, potentially enticing those wishing to move out from the traditional commuter belt and suburbs, but still being able to return there for work. The other nearby towns of Petersfield, Alton, Haslemere and Guildford are all easily accessible, as are the cities of Chichester, Portsmouth and Winchester.

DESCRIPTION: A detached mixed use investment opportunity, offered with the freehold interest, comprising a ground floor E-class premises, most recently utilised as a charity shop, complete with WC facilities. The upper parts are included and comprise a self contained maisonette, with kitchen/lounge, bedroom plus shower and WC facilities. The flat is accessible via a private entrance at the rear of the building. Also, the property includes 2 off-street parking spaces in Limes Close, which is about 50 metres away.

The shop and flat will both benefit from some refurbishment in order to fully maximise revenues. Once completed, the estimated annual income from the flat is expected to be in the region of £7,800 and for the retail space, circa £8,000-£12,000.

Other local businesses in the village centre include a Tesco Express with Post Office counter, a Premier convenience store, Boots Pharmacy as well as two cafes and a public house, plus a butcher, baker, florist, card shop, hairdressers, barbers, DIY shop, flooring shop, local produce shop, wool shop, stove shop, amongst others. In addition, there are two doctors surgeries, a dentist, chiropractor, taxi office, as well as several restaurants and takeaways.

Note there are plans in place to upgrade the central area of Liss. Pavements are expected to be widened and the road would be raised closer to the pavement in the very centre of the village and more planting would be added for shade and shelter, and more seating and cycle parking will be included too. For more information, you can review the plans on the Liss Parish Council website.
