Darryll, this building has proper potential

You already know the location story — Egham town centre, station round the corner, Heathrow fifteen minutes, M25 two minutes away. What you saw today was a blank canvas at a price that still makes the numbers work, whether you're coming at it as an investment, an owner-occupier play, or with an eye on the longer-term development angle. You asked all the right questions. Here's the full picture.

What We Covered Today

Everything from
the viewing — written up.

Nothing lost. Nothing forgotten. Here's the full picture from everything we walked through at Alchemy House today.

The building — what you saw

Structure
Solid two-storey brick construction. Well built, well maintained for its age. Nothing that jumped out as a structural concern — though you rightly said you'd want a proper survey before committing. Sensible.
Layout
Currently configured as open-plan office across both floors. 2,900 sq ft gives you real flexibility — the floor plates are good shapes. Not a rabbit warren. You could work with this whether you're fitting it out, letting it, or looking at conversion.
The site
0.17 acres. Not huge, but the footprint is clean and the boundaries are clear. Parking to the front — you noticed that immediately and it's a genuine asset for a commercial building in this location.
Condition
Presentable throughout. Some cosmetic work needed — nothing dramatic. The bones are good. Whoever buys this isn't walking into a money pit. They're walking into a project with a clear path.

Location — what you clocked

Egham station
Moments away on foot. Direct line into London Waterloo and out to Windsor. You mentioned this specifically — for any tenant or buyer use case, the rail connection is a serious asset.
Heathrow
15 minutes without traffic. For logistics, hospitality, corporate — this proximity alone justifies a premium. Undervalued in the guide price in our view.
M25 access
Junction 13 is two minutes. The whole South East is accessible from here. If you ever let this commercially, that story writes itself to tenants.
Town centre position
Not on an industrial estate, not on the edge of town. Band Lane is proper town centre. That matters for planning flexibility and long-term value.

The angles you were thinking about

Investment play
Let commercially, the yield story at this price point is compelling. Comparable lets in Egham suggest strong demand from SMEs and professional services. We can pull rental comparables if it helps. Discuss further
Owner-occupier
You mentioned a business that could use the space. 2,900 sq ft of your own freehold in this location — no more rent reviews, no landlord, an asset on your balance sheet. The numbers look very different when you model it that way. Your preferred angle
Development potential
We touched on permitted development. Office to residential conversion has been done on comparable buildings in the area. Nothing confirmed — that's a solicitor and planning consultant conversation — but the location ticks the boxes. Worth exploring
The Number

What gets it done, Darryll.
