A substantial stone-built commercial building in a highly prominent Burnley town-centre position, extending to about 3,914 sq ft across three storeys with a large rear extension. The property has previously operated as offices, an animal hospital and a construction firm, and includes a drive-in lower ground workshop plus equipped office space on ground and first floors. High ceilings and period stone character give strong scope for conversion to apartments or continued commercial use (subject to planning).
This site is best suited to investors, developers or occupiers seeking a visible high-street presence. Immediate positives include prominent frontage on Manchester Road close to Burnley Town Hall, excellent mobile and fast broadband connectivity, mains services and easy access to the M65 within a mile. The building’s size and mixed internal layout offer clear potential for refurbishment, subdivision or change of use pending local authority approval.
Material considerations are straightforward and important: the surrounding area is very deprived with a very high crime rating, and the plot is small with limited external space. Tenure is not specified and VAT status should be independently verified. Any conversion to residential use would require planning consent and checks on services, asbestos, and building condition before committing funds.
For a buyer prepared to invest in refurbishment or to take planning risk, this prominent stone property offers a rare central envelope with flexible reuse potential and strong visibility for rental or sale value growth once improved.
