Spacious three-storey property with strong promenade exposure and flexible layout.
Large open-plan ground floor with full-length shuttered shop windows
A rare three-storey commercial opportunity on Marine Road Central with prominent bay views and high footfall. The ground floor offers a large open-plan sales/retail space framed by full-length shuttered windows and a front courtyard suitable for seating or displays. Upper floors provide flexible rooms for offices, storage or conversion subject to planning.
The property is exceptionally large at around 2,955 sq ft and benefits from excellent transport links, nearby public car parks opposite and behind, and mains gas heating with an EPC rating of C. Its mid-20th century bay windows capture Morecambe Bay and the Lakeland Hills, a clear asset for customer-facing uses or hospitality.
Buyers should note material drawbacks: the building requires refurbishment, internal finishes are basic, and flood risk is rated medium. The surrounding area is very deprived and local crime levels are very high — factors that may affect some uses and insurance costs. Tenure is currently unknown and will need to be confirmed prior to purchase.
This is best suited to investors or operators who can take a hands-on approach: refurbish and rebrand for retail, leisure or mixed-use, or hold as an income-generating asset in a prominent seaside location. The combination of size, location and bay outlook offers genuine potential, but realistic budgets should include refurbishment, security measures and flood mitigation where required.
