*Rare Investment Opportunity in the Heart of Poole – Versatile Mixed-Use Freehold on High Street, BH15*

Superbly positioned along the bustling and leafy High Street in Poole’s vibrant town centre, this substantial and characterful property presents an exceptional prospect for investors, restaurateurs and developers alike. Dating back to a period of classic architectural style, the striking frontage—with its full-height sash windows and elegant arched details—stands proudly beneath a distinctive mansard roof, making this building a landmark address in PO15.

Currently arranged over five stories and offering in excess of 10,000 sq ft of prime mixed office and retail accommodation, the premises comprise a ground and lower ground commercial unit hosting an established restaurant with prominent al fresco seating beneath large canopies, set amidst beautifully landscaped surroundings, perfect for fine dining and catching the lively buzz of the High Street.

Above, three expansive floors of office suites present phenomenal flexibility. The first floor is vacant and ready for immediate occupation or further rental income, while the upper two levels are already tenanted with established leases. The combined rental stream is approximately £51,000 p.a., with opportunities for significant capital uplift — upon full occupancy the property could realise up to £100,000 per annum, with outstanding potential for future rent reviews.

To the rear, discover a further 4,000 sq ft commercial building arranged over three floors. Currently vacant and enjoying copious amounts of natural light via classic white-framed Georgian-style windows, this space features secure undercroft parking with nine allocated covered bays—rare and highly desirable in this central location. Well suited for either open-plan office configurations, additional commercial lets, or further value-add through change of use, the current owner has submitted a permitted development scheme (PD) for conversion of this section into a luxurious six-bed townhouse, presenting a compelling development angle.

The surrounding area thrives with local businesses, independent retailers, and plentiful café culture, all benefited by substantial passing trade and an enviable pedestrian environment shaded by mature trees. Connectivity is superb: Poole Station, Hamworthy Station and Parkstone Station are all within easy reach, providing direct links to Bournemouth, London and the wider south coast. Exceptional educational amenities, including Old Town Children’s Centre, Old Town Infant School and The Cornerstone Academy, are just a short stroll away, adding further convenience for working families and prospective tenants alike.

Properties of such scale, flexibility and historic character in PO15 are rare to market. Whether seeking ongoing rental yield, dynamic development options, or a trophy asset for the portfolio, this is an unmissable opportunity in a flourishing town centre setting.
