A compact, modern light-industrial unit on Forbes Court, Billington Road, offered for sale at £155,000. The mid-parade portal-frame building gives insulated, open-plan warehouse space with a roller shutter, personnel door, small private office and W/C — practical for storage, light engineering or contractor use. The unit benefits from three-phase electricity and LED lighting, and sits on a well-established business park with strong M65 motorway access.
The site has a small forecourt for parking and loading directly to the front; external yard space is negligible. The property is listed with a Rateable Value of £5,300 p.a.; small businesses may qualify for full Business Rates Relief but buyers should confirm this with Burnley Borough Council. Buildings insurance and service costs will be recharged to the occupier on a pro rata basis.
Notable practical points to check before purchase: the listing gives an internal area as 100 sq ft in one place and 1,000 sq ft elsewhere — confirm the Gross Internal Area and boundaries. Tenure details are not provided and should be verified. The setting is an active industrial estate near other occupiers; local crime is reported above average, and the unit’s finish is basic but serviceable.
This unit will suit investors seeking a straightforward industrial asset or occupiers wanting low‑complexity workshop/storage space with good transport links. Its compact footprint and limited external yard make it less suitable where substantial vehicle manoeuvring or outside storage is required.
