This two‑storey commercial property on Stanley Street offers a large, flexible footprint in the centre of Southport, close to Lord Street and heavy pedestrian routes. The ground floor is an open-plan sales or workshop area with kitchen, storage/office and WC; the first floor provides substantial additional workspace suitable for studios, treatment rooms or storage. Strong local amenities, excellent public transport and good mobile/broadband connectivity support a variety of business uses.
The building is a period Georgian unit with good natural light from large street-facing windows and a sizeable plot. It presents significant refurbishment potential for an investor or an owner-occupier wanting to create bespoke retail, leisure, beauty, hospitality or office space. There is no flooding risk and the site benefits from high visibility in a busy commercial quarter.
Important negatives are clear: the property is derelict and requires renovation throughout, including likely repairs to finishes and services. Tenure is unknown and the property will be sold at auction — buyers should allow for legal and survey checks. The surrounding area shows high crime levels and is classified as very deprived, which may affect footfall quality and insurance or security costs.
Overall this is a value‑driven opportunity for someone prepared to invest in refurbishment and manage risk via appropriate due diligence. For an investor seeking a centrally located redevelopment project or an operator wanting a central base with flexibility, the property offers scope to add value in a prominent Southport location.
