Description
A substantial stone-fronted, double-fronted former chemist in Horwich town centre, now stripped back internally for redevelopment. Planning permission has been secured for conversion into two residential dwellings, each designed with two bedrooms. The listing also identifies the possibility of a third dwelling, subject to obtaining the necessary planning permission, or a mixed commercial and residential scheme subject to relevant consents.
The property has a generous footprint and plot, with rear off-road parking. It has historically accommodated commercial space at ground-floor level and residential accommodation above. Mains services are understood to be available, and the property is offered with no onward chain.
The town-centre position is close to local shops, cafés and restaurants. Horwich Parkway and Blackrod railway stations provide rail links towards Manchester and beyond, while the M61 and Middlebrook Retail & Leisure Park are within easy reach. The property is leasehold for a term of 999 years from 5 March 1855, with a stated annual ground rent of £1.50.
WHOTS analysis
Our WHOTS verdict
An internal assessment of the opportunity to acquire, improve and create value.
66out of 100
Grade CPotential opportunity
Confidence: MEDIUM
At £250,000, this prominent stone-fronted Horwich property is priced at £153/sqf against a local average of £258/sqf, making the asking price a clear acquisition opportunity. The 66/100 C-grade reflects that strong value and sound fundamentals, balanced against a heavy project and only average location scoring.
The building has been stripped back, with damaged finishes, ceiling staining and a neglected rear plot, so this is a substantial redevelopment rather than a cosmetic refresh. Its generous footprint, corner position and drawings for a two-dwelling scheme give the next owner a distinctive canvas; verify the planning permission and its conditions before proceeding.
Key opportunities
- The generous double-fronted footprint and included drawings offer scope to shape the property into the proposed two-dwelling layout, subject to checking the planning permission and conditions.
- A prominent stone frontage and corner position provide character to work with, while the rear plot and parking offer scope to improve the outdoor space and access.
- The stripped interior gives the next owner room to plan the residential fit-out and finishes around their chosen scheme.
Key risks
- Stripped interiors, damaged finishes and incomplete floors make this a heavy full-interior rebuild; plan for a substantial programme rather than a cosmetic refresh.
- Visible ceiling staining and damaged finishes need investigation before the scope is finalised.
