Description

This mixed-use property on Rishton High Street combines a ground-floor hair salon with a self-contained one-bedroom flat above. The salon is arranged with styling stations, customer seating and wash facilities, alongside ancillary space, a WC and a cellar for storage. Its existing fit-out could suit a salon operator, while changes for another commercial use would be subject to the necessary permissions and consents. The flat has a lounge with room for dining, a separate fitted kitchen, a double bedroom and a shower room. It may provide accommodation for an owner-operator or be considered separately from the commercial space, subject to confirming the arrangements and relevant requirements. The property is in a central position among local shops and services, with Rishton railway station and the M65 network nearby. The existing commercial and residential layouts offer scope to adapt the premises to a purchaser's needs.

72out of 100
Grade BGood opportunity

Confidence: MEDIUM

At £140,000, this mixed-use property is priced at £153/sqf against a local average of £196/sqf, making it a notably cheaper-than-local opportunity to acquire a High Street shop with a self-contained flat above. The salon has a presentable shopfront and existing fit-out, while the bright, usable flat appears clean and modernised, offering scope for an owner-operator or an investor seeking both commercial and residential accommodation.

The visible work is light: the commercial ancillary areas could benefit from local making-good, and the enclosed rear yard would be worth assessing for drainage and improving. The cellar has aged, marked surfaces, and the upper exterior is only partly visible, so the wider building condition cannot be judged from these images.

Key opportunities

  • Acquire the shop and self-contained flat at a price notably below the local £/sqf average.
  • Make use of the existing salon shopfront, stations and layout, or adapt the commercial space for another use subject to permissions and consents.
  • Improve the enclosed rear yard and make good patchy finishes in the commercial ancillary areas.

Key risks

  • Standing water and worn paving in the rear yard make drainage and surface condition worth checking.
  • The cellar has aged, marked surfaces, and the roof and wider upper exterior condition cannot be judged from the available views.
