This substantial town-centre leisure unit (approx. 2,358 sq ft) occupies a prominent paved frontage on Millgate and is offered as a redevelopment opportunity. The property previously operated as a bar/restaurant across three floors, with two street entrances, shuttered ground-floor bays and linked two-storey barn accommodation to the rear. It sits inside a conservation area but is not believed to be listed.
The building suits an investor or developer seeking a central leisure or mixed commercial/residential scheme. Fast broadband and excellent mobile signal support hospitality or small creative uses; the footprint and existing layout provide scope to reconfigure space, extend uses above shop level or reinstate separate units. Low local crime and proximity to major retail and transport amenities add operational advantages.
Buyers should note practical constraints: tenure is unknown, there is no apparent parking or private garden, the plot is small and the property fronts a pedestrianised street. The area is classified as very deprived with limited local purchaser power and a household profile of constrained renters — that can suppress achievable rents but may also attract affordable leisure operators or social enterprise uses.
The building will need an informed refurbishment strategy. Conservation-area controls, existing condition of services and any necessary building regulation upgrades (kitchen/extraction, welfare, accessibility) will be material considerations. Priced at £300,000, this offers potential upside for a buyer able to absorb repair/refit costs and navigate planning or conservation requirements.
