Three adjoining commercial units on Back Ribble Road offer a clear, low-cost entry to Blackpool’s central storage and light-industrial market. Sold freehold and available as one lot or two parts, the brick-built units total about 165 sqm (approx. 1,776 sq ft) with a small yard and loft storage — currently used as stables and coach stores but suited to warehousing, storage, or other commercial uses.
The site’s value drivers are straightforward: a central location just south of Blackpool town centre, mains electric and water, a yard between units for loading, and flexible sale options (Unit 1 priced around £40,000; Units 2+3 around £75,000). Built c.1890, the characterful Victorian industrial fabric gives usable volumes and mezzanine/loft storage potential.
Buyers should expect active refurbishment and security considerations. The buildings show neglect, damp risk, and will need repair to roofs and interiors; slow broadband and a very deprived local area with high crime rates may limit some occupier types. There is no flood risk and tenure is freehold, but planning and refurbishment costs should be budgeted.
This is a practical opportunity for an investor or operator seeking affordable central storage/workspace with short-term rental potential after basic repairs, or a small developer comfortable working in a constrained urban area.
