A sizeable mid-terrace commercial building in South Shore, Blackpool, offered for sale by public online auction with existing planning consent to convert to 15 self-contained flats. The property sits close to the recently completed Coastal Point development and approximately half a mile from Blackpool Pleasure Beach, providing clear rental and holiday-let demand in a coastal location.
Planning consent (21/0386) is in place for external alterations, a three-storey extension, balconies, a roof terrace, and associated cycle/bin stores; several conditions (discharged under 25/0144) relate to materials, surfacing, landscaping, boundary treatments, parking and flood mitigation. The site extends to about 0.06 hectares (0.15 acres) and includes garage parking — valuable in this area — with an EPC rating of C.
The building dates from the 1950–66 period, with large rooms and high ceilings that suit conversion to distinctive apartments. However, the property is described as derelict/early-20th-century fixer-upper in need of renovation; main heating is by electric room heaters and double glazing was installed post-2002, but full refurbishment and fit-out will be required to implement the consented scheme.
Bidders should note the sale is by auction (bidding opens 28 Oct, closes 29 Oct 2025). Legal pack, buyer’s premium and additional fees apply and must be reviewed before bidding. Broadband speeds are slow, the immediate area is classified as deprived/ageing urban communities, and tenure is stated as unknown — all material points for finance and occupation planning.
