A substantial freehold commercial building on a prominent Barnsley Road corner, offered via national online auction. The property totals approximately 2,959 sq ft (around 274 sqm) across multiple stories and has been used as a long-standing motor spares shop and garage. Its Victorian brick facade and large retail windows provide clear frontage and character, while interior areas are large but dated and require modernization.
Previously approved plans for conversion to apartments demonstrate redevelopment potential, though that consent has lapsed and any new scheme will require fresh planning approval. The building could suit investors seeking conversion to flats, an HMO, continued commercial use, or mixed redevelopment subject to planning and investment. Parking/garage space and decent plot size add practical value.
Bidding is by online auction; registration is required and bidding opens Monday 29th September at 1pm, closing Tuesday 30th September from 1pm. There is an administration fee of £3,600 inc. VAT payable on exchange and additional disbursements may apply—buyers must consult the legal pack before bidding. Viewings are by request.
Suitably minded purchasers should budget for refurbishment and possible structural or services upgrades; the interior is dated and will need work to achieve residential conversion or modern commercial standards. The location offers good transport links, nearby schools and local amenities, and fast broadband — factors that support a range of future uses.
