A property that once housed a fish and chip business has been listed with a guide price of £140,000.

The premises on Abernant Road in Markham, Blackwood, is being handled by Peter Alan and comprises commercial space on the lower level along with a flat above featuring three bedrooms.

According to the estate agency, the building offers prospective purchasers an unusual chance to acquire such a property.

The ground floor commercial space, formerly operated as a chip shop, enjoys prominent positioning in a well-established trading location, with strong visibility and steady foot traffic, the agents noted.

The interior of the ground level includes a customer entrance area, food preparation zone, stockroom, WC facilities, and a gated rear garden.

The configuration is described as adaptable, enabling incoming owners to modify the space for various commercial purposes, provided necessary permissions are obtained.

A self-contained residential unit occupies the upper floor, comprising three bedrooms, a reception room, kitchen, and bathroom.

The apartment has its own separate entrance, creating distinct boundaries from the commercial area below.

The agency indicated this arrangement works well for owner-occupiers seeking accommodation or investors interested in generating rental returns, with the unit presently occupied by tenants.

The site also provides off-street parking facilities and occupies a practical spot within Markham, offering straightforward connections to nearby retailers, amenities, educational establishments, and transportation routes.

The transaction is being conducted through auction proceedings, with those hoping to purchase needing to execute a reservation contract and pay a non-returnable reservation fee equivalent to 4.5 percent of the final price, subject to a floor of £6,600 inclusive of VAT.

This charge sits outside the main purchase price and forms part of the overall chargeable consideration for land transaction tax purposes.

A buyer information dossier containing relevant property documentation is accessible, though those considering a bid should carry out their own independent investigations.

An additional charge not exceeding £349 plus VAT applies for the preparation of this documentation pack.
