A compact Victorian commercial unit on a prominent corner of Central Drive and Bloomfield Road, offered freehold and for sale at auction. Positioned close to the promenade and town centre, the property benefits from high visibility and steady passing vehicle and pedestrian trade — useful for retail or small service businesses. The building requires renovation and refurbishment to realise its trading potential.
This is a clear pick for an investor or new landlord seeking an affordable entry into Blackpool’s town-centre market. The property is being sold at auction on Monday 27th October 2025 for a guide price of £25,000, providing an opportunity to secure a city-centre unit below typical market replacement cost. Excellent mobile signal and proximity to many amenities support a range of potential uses.
Buyers should be realistic about costs and risks: the unit is derelict in parts, needs work to the shopfront and interior, and sits in a very deprived area with very high crime rates. Average broadband speeds, small internal space and a standard ceiling height limit some uses without structural alteration. Factor renovation, security measures and potential tenant turnover into any purchase plan.
