This property in Bargates, Christchurch presents a complex investment opportunity. It consists of a restaurant currently operating on the ground floor and a residential section above. The restaurant area appears to be functional and relatively well-maintained, showing potential to generate income. However, the residential section is in clear need of extensive refurbishment or renovation. The walls show significant signs of wear and the flooring and bathrooms need complete updating.

The property benefits from a considerable plot of land at the rear, though this is currently overgrown. The potential development or expansion of the house or garden space is present, but should be considered in light of local planning restrictions and associated costs. The proximity to Christchurch town centre, local transport (Christchurch train station is 0.45km away), and well-regarded schools like Twynham School (0.47km away) are significant advantages and should add appeal to the property’s investment potential. Overall, the investment requires a careful consideration of the extensive renovation costs, the potential income from the restaurant, and the potential development opportunities provided by the available land. The current list price must be considered in context of these factors, and a professional survey and planning checks are highly recommended before making a purchase decision.

Therefore, we give this property 5 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
