Situated in Freemantle, Southampton, this property offers easy access to the popular shopping area of Shirley High Street, providing amenities such as supermarkets, local convenience stores and popular places to eat and drink. The site benefits from excellent public transport links including rail travel from Southampton Central Station and Millbrook train station, along with regular bus routes leading into Southampton City Centre. For those travelling by car, the M3 can be accessed through Winchester Road and Bassett Avenue and the M27 can be accessed via Millbrook Road, leading onto the M271. Southampton is an important industrial, retail, and residential city, influenced by the strong network communications by road, rail and air. The city has a busy retail centre serving a resident population of around 935,000 people (2021 census). The Freemantle United Reformed Church site comprises a two-storey church building and hall, with a gross internal floorspace of circa 9,254 sqft. The building footprint covers the majority of the site (Circa 0.4 acres), and the frontage is for the most part hard surfaced as car parking space. The building is understood to date from around 1950 and is a brick finished building with a concrete tiled roof. The site is neighboured by a commercial car wash on one side and a detached house on the other. We believe the site has development potential, subject to achieving relevant planning permissions. In addition, we also believe there to be scope to develop neighbouring plots that are directly adjacent to the site for sale, any prospective purchasers would be responsible for making their own approaches. However, it must be noted, that the current vendor will propose certain overages be put in place, should their site provide access to further development. As well as being a great opportunity for property developers, the site also provides an opportunity for those looking to purchase the site for community/quasi commercial uses.
