Summary - 1, Albion Street BB5 1QW
1 bed 1 bath Light Industrial
14,557 sq ft workshop with offices near M65 junction 7 — strong commercial potential.
Detached workshop and stone-built offices, 14,557 sq ft total
This substantial detached light-industrial facility extends to 14,557 sq ft and sits within an established commercial pocket of Accrington, under 1.5 miles from junction 7 of the M65. The property combines traditional two-storey stone-built offices with a modern single-storey steel-framed workshop, providing a flexible mix of open-plan offices, private rooms, boardroom space, mezzanine office and large workshop floors. On-site loading from Fort Street and three roller-shutter doors support straightforward goods handling and vehicle access.
The premises are served by three-phase power, mains gas with boiler and radiators, LED lighting to the offices and clear roof panels to the workshop. Ancillary WCs, kitchen/amenity areas, stores, training room and a mezzanine add immediate operational value for a continuing industrial or light-manufacturing use. There is garage parking and fast broadband and mobile signal suitable for modern business needs.
Notable considerations: the EPC is rated E (107) and parts of the building date from c.1900–1929 with assumed uninsulated stone walls, so energy performance improvement may be required for long-term running-cost reduction. The property is in a very deprived area with a very high local crime rate — factors likely to influence tenant demand, insurance premiums and security requirements. VAT is applicable on the price and tenure is not specified; buyers should verify ownership and statutory compliance prior to exchange.
For investors or owner-operators seeking scale and good motorway connectivity, this property offers an immediate operating presence with scope to add value through targeted energy upgrades, security improvements and fit-out optimisation. The site’s size, loading provision and three-phase power are practical strengths for many industrial occupiers, though the socio-economic and EPC factors should be budgeted into refurbishment or leasing strategies.
