Income enhancement and Break up Opportunity
Location:
The property is located in the heart of the retail centre of Bridport, a market town located at the junction of the A35 and A3066 some 1.5 miles inland from the coast at West Bay. The property is within a busy retail parade which is home to a number of major national retailers and its location within the road has the added advantage of on street paring immediately outside. The town has a history as the centre for ropemaking and is today, a thriving market town serving a densely populated catchment area with the advantage of many tourists during the summer months boosting trade in the vicinity.
Description:
The property comprises this four floor building arranged to provide retail/office space at ground floor level, which is let to Battens Solicitors, a well-known multi office firm in the area who have traded from this location for a number of years. There are two separate flats at first floor level with a two floor flat at second and third floor. There is vacant storage areas at ground floor level which could provide a letting opportunity perhaps for storage services.
Opportunity:
Purchasers should note that there is a rent review due on the commercial element in January 2026. The vacant storage spaces could provide further rental enhancement opportunities whilst the ground rent of the two flats sold on long leases doubles in 2031. The remaining flat let on an AST had the rent set in July 2024 and on review/possession a buyer should be able to enhance this rent.

Important Notice:
For each Lot, a contract documentation fee of £1,500 (inclusive of VAT) is payable to Barnard Marcus Auctions by the buyer. The seller may charge additional fees payable upon completion. If applicable, such fees are detailed within the Special Conditions of Sale. Buyers are deemed to bid in full knowledge of this.
The Guide Price quoted must not be relied upon by prospective purchasers as a valuation or assessment of value of the property. It is intended to provide purchasers with an indication of the region at which the reserve may be set at the time of going to press. The guide price may be subject to variation and interested parties are advised to make regular checks for variations and should be aware that the reserve price may be either below or above the quoted guide price.
Prospective purchasers should also be aware that the eventual sale price may be above or below the guide level dependent upon competition, and should therefore not presume the guide to be indicative of the final expected sale price or the price the property is available at.
When setting the guide price, the auctioneers have given consideration to the seller’s instructions in respect of their indicated reserve price at the time of instruction. The reserve price, (the level below which the property will not be sold), remains confidential between the seller and the auctioneer. The guide price therefore, is intended to indicate the region at which the reserve price is intended to be set. The seller will confirm their final reserve price close to the auction date and if appropriate the auctioneers may adjust the guide price to reflect this.
Whilst Barnard Marcus make every effort to ensure the safety and security of viewers at properties, we have not carried out a detailed Health & Safety inspection of properties in our auctions and cannot therefore guarantee the safety and security of viewers.
Prospective purchasers and bidders attend properties entirely at their own risk. Particular care should be taken when accessing cellars, attics, exterior grounds and outbuildings and boundaries. All non-conducted inspections of vacant sites should be made in daylight hours only and entry into such sites is entirely at the viewers risk.
