This rare freehold assembly comprises two Grade II listed Victorian buildings with planning permission to convert to 27 apartments across 15,317 sqft. The corner position on Bradford Road offers strong street presence, immediate access to local shops, Lidl, bus links and Dewsbury town centre, making the site well placed for residential re‑use.
The buildings are a blank canvas but require full renovation; interiors are dilapidated and the former showroom will need modernisation. The listed status means specialist conservation works and listed‑building consents will be required — this will add cost, programme risk and constraints to design changes despite the existing planning approval.
Key investment drivers are scale and consent: a single freehold site large enough for a 27‑unit scheme reduces acquisition complexity. However, buyers must factor in medium flood risk, very high local crime rates, a deprived local economy and potential challenges obtaining insurance or achieving prime rents in the short term.
This opportunity suits an experienced developer or investor who understands conservation projects and can manage specialist contractors, listed‑building negotiations and refurbishment budgets. If you can accommodate the regulatory and site constraints, the size and location offer clear long‑term redevelopment potential.
