Large adaptable former cinema near Blackburn town centre, ideal for operators and investors.
Extremely large 11,289 sq ft open-plan retail/showroom space
A substantial, newly renovated former cinema converted to retail/showroom use, offering an expansive open-plan sales area and high ceilings that suit large-format retail, trade counter or showroom operators. The property benefits from a prominent main-road frontage on King Street with gated concrete yard providing off-street parking, loading and secure external storage.
Located on the edge of Blackburn town centre within an established trade counter and industrial/commercial corridor, the building offers flexibility for alternative uses subject to planning consent. Services are understood to be connected and the property was refurbished in the early 2000s with an impressive entrance area and modern finishes retained in parts.
Key commercial considerations: planning consent exists for retail use only — any change of use will require discussion with the local planning authority. VAT is applicable to the figures quoted. The surrounding area is classified as very deprived with very high crime levels, which may affect operator choice and insurance costs.
This is a clear opportunity for an investor or occupational occupier seeking large, flexible footprint space on a busy arterial route. While the building’s size and visibility are strengths, prospective purchasers should allow for due diligence on tenure, security measures, and any site-specific issues such as potential historic industrial contamination on the yard.
