A substantial mid-terraced retail unit positioned on Chorley Old Road, offered with planning permission to create a two-bedroom flat at first-floor level. The property extends to approximately 1,812 sq ft over basement, ground, first and second floors, with a large street-facing shopfront, rear outrigger with WC and kitchen/office, and usable basement space — offering multiple income or trading configurations.
This is a clear opportunity for an investor or owner-operator prepared to refurbish for modern retail, mixed use or a unit-plus-flat arrangement. Planning consent for a two-bedroom flat upstairs accelerates rental or resale potential, while the prominent frontage and established parade location support good footfall from nearby amenities and public transport links.
Buyers should note the local context: the area is classified as very deprived and a “hampered neighbourhood,” and the property will need internal refurbishment to modern standards. Tenure is unknown and should be confirmed. Overall, this is a value-driven, flexible investment with redevelopment upside in a well-used local shopping parade.
