Ready-to-rent opportunity with established retail footprint and private rear patio.
Double-fronted retail space with large display windows and workshop
This freehold mixed-use property occupies a prominent traffic-light corner in central Blackpool, combining a double-fronted retail unit with a self-contained first-floor flat. The ground floor previously traded as an alterations and haberdashery business for over 40 years, so the retail layout, display windows and workshop area are ready to re-open or adapt for alternative commercial uses subject to planning.
The first-floor flat provides a generous lounge, kitchen with breakfast bar, bedroom plus a separate dressing room that can serve as a second bedroom. The building has mains services, central heating and double glazing, and a gated rear patio provides outdoor space in a compact plot — useful for staff breaks or a tenant’s private area.
This property offers clear income potential for a landlord or an owner-operator looking for on-site living. Stock and some equipment are included in the sale, reducing setup cost for a similar business restart. Flexible room sizes and internal access between shop and flat make conversion or reconfiguration straightforward where permitted.
Buyers should weigh practical constraints: the location sits in a very deprived local area with recorded high crime rates, and broadband speeds are slow. The plot is small and the property will suit buyers comfortable operating in a busy urban retail environment or those targeting a rental/letting market rather than a quiet residential retreat.
