Description

Old Winwick Quay is a freehold site just north of Warrington town centre, comprising a substantial property with workshop, office, garage and ancillary accommodation. The existing buildings provide approximately 3,425 sq ft on the ground floor, 699 sq ft at first-floor level and a further 2,061 sq ft in outbuildings and garaging. The layout may suit a range of commercial or business uses, subject to the purchaser’s requirements. The site includes footings from a previously developed building and is presented as having potential for alternative uses or redevelopment. Any such proposals would require the relevant planning permissions and other consents, and purchasers should make their own enquiries. The property is close to the A49 and within reach of Junction 9 of the M62, with retail and leisure destinations including Gemini Retail Park and JunctionNINE nearby. Off-street parking is available.

WHOTS analysis

Our WHOTS verdict

An internal assessment of the opportunity to acquire, improve and create value.

74out of 100
Grade BGood opportunity

Confidence: MEDIUM

At £475,000, this substantial freehold property is priced at about £167 per sq ft, around 28% below the local average—a strong entry point for someone looking to take on a distinctive project. The residential areas shown, including the kitchen and living space, appear maintained, while the workshops, outbuildings and some exterior structures are markedly more tired, worn and cluttered. The large yard, mature planting, hardstanding and existing buildings offer plenty to work with; the listing also identifies possible alternative uses or redevelopment, subject to investigation and the necessary consents.

Key opportunities

  • The mix of workshop, office, garage and ancillary accommodation gives scope to rethink how the substantial space is used, subject to consents.
  • A large yard, hardstanding, mature trees and existing outbuildings provide a distinctive canvas for improving the site and its outdoor areas.
  • The maintained living area, fitted kitchen and bathroom offer a usable residential element alongside the broader project.

Key risks

  • Worn, cluttered workshop interiors and deteriorated ancillary structures make this a heavy, multi-area programme rather than a cosmetic refresh; allow for careful sequencing and investigation of the buildings and existing footings.
  • Railway and major road infrastructure are visible close to the site.
