Character property for sale

*Investment Opportunity in the Heart of Christchurch – Prime High Street Retail Freehold*

An exceptional opportunity to acquire a striking freehold investment in the heart of Christchurch’s bustling High Street. Newly refurbished and modernised to a high specification, this imposing character property comprises two lucrative lock-up shops with established tenancies: “Made In Italy”, a ladies’ fashion boutique, and “The Venue”, a sought-after beauty treatment salon. Together, they generate a robust and reliable annual income, each benefiting from fresh 15-year terms established from April 2025.

Set amidst the vibrant commercial hub of Christchurch, this handsome period building boasts elegant arched windows and classic architectural lines. The double-fronted façade ensures maximum visibility, framed by attractive planted borders which weave character and kerb-appeal into the prominent streetscape.

Both retail units have been exceptionally fitted with contemporary finishes to complement the historic façade, offering premium business environments for tenants. Above, recently converted, self-contained flats provide a tastefully finished backdrop for further footfall (these upper units are not part of the sale), enhancing the vibrancy and security of the premises day and night.

Positioned just a stone’s throw from renowned leisure destinations including the Saxon Square Shopping Centre, Christchurch Harbour, popular marinas, and riverside parks, this address is a magnet for both local residents and visitors. Immediate neighbours include high-street favourites such as Marks & Spencer, Pizza Express, Superdry, Card Factory, and a thriving mix of artisan food outlets and coffee shops. With its location on a busy pedestrian and traffic route, the benefit of local schools and amenities is unparalleled; Christchurch Station, Pokesdown Station and Hinton Admiral Station all within easy reach, ensuring strong transport links for tenants and customers alike.

As a long leasehold investment (999 years) with a consistently high footfall location, recent upgrades, and sound tenancies, this is a turn-key solution for investors seeking a high-standard asset in one of Dorset’s most desirable towns.

Opportunities of this calibre are exceptionally rare. Enquire now to arrange a private viewing and discover the full potential that this premium retail investment can offer.
