Property Description
SUMMARY A "Cut Above the Rest" in a Prime Location
After approximately 40 years of successful operation under the same ownership, the iconic Capelli Hair Salon is now available for purchase with vacant possession.
This is a rare chance to acquire a substantial, well-established commercial property that offers both a turnkey business setup and significant redevelopment potential.
Property Overview
The building is designed for high-volume service and operational efficiency through a spacious and modern layout. The ground floor features a large, professional salon floor equipped with 13 styling stations, a dedicated reception desk, and a comfortable waiting area. The space is finished with durable tiled flooring and includes six backwash basins for seamless client turnover. Functional areas on this level include a ground-floor restroom, a heating system storage room, and a rear kitchen/storage area with access to a fire exit and cellar.
The first floor is accessed via an elegant wrought iron spiral staircase and provides extensive back-of-house facilities. This level includes a private office and a generous staff room complete with a kitchen, lockers, and ample space for a dining table. There is an additional storage room alongside another room featuring a fire exit and a full shower room. To ensure peace of mind for the new owner, the premises are fully secured with an alarm system, CCTV, and exterior shutters.
Development and Investment Potential
Beyond its current use as a premier salon, this property offers versatile options for a savvy investor. With the necessary planning permissions, the upper floor could be converted into a residential flat, adding significant value to the asset. Based on a starting bid of £130,000, the property is estimated to achieve a rental income of approximately £2,000 per month, representing an exceptional potential return on investment. The property also includes a low-maintenance, fully enclosed rear yard, providing private outdoor space and private parking.
