This mixed-use property presents a unique opportunity for renovation and investment, situated at the fringe of the bustling Church Street retail area. Previously home to a well-established business that has operated successfully for decades, this property is now available as a vacant space ideal for new ventures or redevelopment.
The layout offers flexibility, with ground and first-floor areas currently designed for retail use (approximately 123 sq m). These levels feature spacious showroom areas complemented by necessary storage and ancillary rooms, allowing potential owners to reconfigure the space to meet their particular needs. Additionally, the upper level includes a self-contained one-bedroom apartment, providing living quarters that are generous in size with a separate living room, kitchen, and bathroom.
Significantly, there’s potential to convert the entire building into residential units or explore other commercial avenues, subject to obtaining the required planning permissions. This adaptability makes it an attractive option for investors looking to capitalize on changing market demands.
A noteworthy feature of the property is the substantial double garage located at the rear, which also provides additional storage space. Access and parking are conveniently available via Martin Road.
The property consists of three separate titles and will be sold as one cohesive transaction. One portion is held on a long leasehold basis with a nominal ground rent that hasn’t been collected for many years. The retail component has an established business rate valuation of £8,700; new owners may want to explore eligibility for small business rate relief.
In terms of location, this property benefits from being close to Eddisbury Square precinct and its mix of retailers such as Sainsbury’s and Rightway DIY. The thriving retail environment suggests promising foot traffic and visibility for any new business initiative. Moreover, accessibility is excellent, with major roadways and transport links connecting to Chester, Warrington, Liverpool, and Manchester just a short distance away.
Overall, whether you’re looking to maintain its mixed-use nature or pivot toward full residential development, this property offers versatile options that can be tailored to various investment strategies.
