Project's Overview

Nestled just behind the vibrant Tooting High Street in South West London, this rare 11,568 sq ft (1,075 sq m) development site on 1a Totterdown Street, SW17, offers exceptional location advantages. Tucked away on a quiet side road with vehicular access suitable for large vehicles, it benefits from a central position within Wandsworth Council area, providing easy connectivity to central London via nearby transport links including Tooting Broadway Underground Station. The site’s proximity to Tooting High Street ensures high footfall potential for retail and office uses, while the surrounding area is experiencing residential and commercial growth, driving future value appreciation.

Currently configured as mixed-use Class E space, the property features a small barber shop on license at the front left, a good-sized office space (formerly solicitors) above, and further ahead, a two-story brick building used as an art gallery and shop, also on license outside the Landlord and Tenant Act. Deeper into the site lies a substantial factory/storage area and additional office entrance, generating rental income from existing tenants. This setup provides immediate income potential alongside redevelopment opportunities.

With strong investment potential, this site stands out as a compelling opportunity due to its size, versatility for office, retail, light industrial, or residential development (subject to planning permissions and change of use), and the area’s ongoing regeneration. Nearby developments in Tooting and Wandsworth, including new residential towers and improved infrastructure, are set to boost demand and property values in the coming years. The site’s development potential, combined with current leasing and vehicular access, positions it as a robust hold or flip for investors seeking capital growth.

Key details include full Class E use rights, no floor plans available, and no specific EPC or planning permissions noted yet—offering flexibility for buyers to pursue extensions or redevelopments. Parking is facilitated by the wide entrance for vehicles, enhancing practicality for commercial operations.
