Vacant possession on completion — immediate occupation or re-letting

A prominent mixed-use freehold in central Burscough, this mid-century building offers a large ground-floor retail unit together with a separately accessed first-floor two-bedroom flat. The retail space (approx. 1,600 sq ft overall including converted rear storage) benefits from return frontage, a glazed shopfront, roller shutters and a prominent box fascia for signage — ideal for a trading business or letting. The flat is independently metered and functional but would benefit from modernisation to unlock rental uplift or improved owner comfort.
The property is offered with vacant possession, providing immediate occupation or re-letting potential. Strong visibility from the A59 and town-centre footfall support retail trading and signage value. On-site parking is limited to a small forecourt and a garage; roadside spaces are available but the plot is compact with minimal external amenity.
This is a straightforward investment or owner-occupier proposition with clear scope for value-add refurbishment. Notable considerations include required modernisation throughout the residential accommodation and the retail fit-out, an above-average local crime statistic, and an unknown tenure which should be confirmed. EPCs, safety certificates and an Asbestos Management Report are available on request to aid due diligence.
