Secure, well-located 53,975 sq ft warehouse with upgrade potential and strong motorway links.
Freehold light industrial unit on 2.04-acre site (c.53,975 sq ft)
A substantial freehold light industrial facility on a very large 2.04-acre plot, offering c.53,975 sq ft of open-plan warehouse with up to 6m eaves height — well suited to storage, distribution or light manufacturing. The steel portal frame building includes an internal 3-tonne crane, sodium bay lighting, around 10% roof-light coverage and dedicated ground- and first-floor office and welfare accommodation. External secure gated access, marked parking bays and a dedicated loading area add practical logistics value. Excellent motorway links (M60, M61, M62) and fast broadband and mobile connectivity strengthen appeal for operational occupiers.
The site presents clear upgrade and enhancement potential: the roof and fittings require repair/renewal and the property is presented as a fixer-upper. That condition reduces immediate occupational readiness but creates scope for value-add investment, refurbishment or redevelopment (subject to consents). Buyers should budget for roof works and general refurbishment to modern standards.
Location factors are mixed: the settlement is in a major conurbation with good local amenities and transport; nearby schools and supermarkets provide local support services. However the area records higher deprivation indicators and an audience of social renters locally, which may influence workforce availability, planning considerations and lease-market dynamics.
Overall this is a pragmatic opportunity for investors or owner-occupiers seeking a large secure yard, strong logistics access and potential uplift through targeted capital works or change of use, balanced against required repair costs and local socio-economic context.
