Summary - 26 SALISBURY STREET WARRINGTON WA1 3AS
5 bed 2 bath Detached
Large detached plot with planning application for eight apartments—investment potential with refurbishment needed.
5-bedroom Victorian detached over 2,200 sq ft with large plot
An imposing Victorian detached residence offering over 2,200 sq ft and a large plot opposite St Elphins Park. The property presents a clear development route: a planning application (2024/01108/FUL) has been submitted for conversion and partial demolition of the existing building to create four apartments, plus a new detached building to deliver a further four apartments. This makes the site attractive to developers or investors seeking to add significant residential density in a central Warrington location.
The house retains strong period character—high ceilings, bay windows, original paneling and timber floors—providing scope for attractive apartment conversions or a sympathetic refurbishment. It is walking distance to Warrington town centre and nearby stations with direct links to Manchester and Liverpool, which supports lettability and resale value. The sale is freehold, chain-free and will be conducted via secure online auction bidding with immediate exchange of contracts available.
Buyers should note material drawbacks: the property requires refurbishment and likely structural and services upgrades. Walls are cavity as-built with no insulation assumed, and double glazing was fitted post-2002. The local area scores high for deprivation and recorded crime is above average, which may affect rental yields and management. The planning application is in place but subject to council approval; any conversion will require compliance with approved plans and permit conditions.
Overall, this is a high-potential, high-work opportunity for developers or investors prepared to manage planning risk, refurbishment costs and local letting considerations. For those who can take the project through conversion, the riverside-adjacent location and substantial floor area offer strong value-creation potential.
