Rare refurbishment opportunity next to the Metrolink for hands-on investors.
Freehold mixed-use building, total approx. 1,268 sqft
This two-storey freehold mixed-use unit offers a compact investment in Chorlton’s commuter corridor, directly adjacent to the Metrolink and close to local shops. The ground floor provides a 651 sqft retail/commercial unit with large shopfront glazing; the self-contained first-floor apartment extends to approximately 615 sqft, producing around £21,000 pa.
The building is traditional brick under a pitched roof on a 0.058-acre plot and presents a clear asset-management opportunity — there is scope to increase income through refurbishment, reconfiguration, or re-letting at higher market rents. Excellent local transport links and proximity to Chorlton town centre support tenant demand for retail, office or residential uses.
Buyers should allow for significant remedial work. The rear extension/ancillary structure is in poor condition, with exposed corrugated roofing, unfinished timber framing and vegetation intrusion; internal finishes and services require full refurbishment. Budget for structural/roof repairs, clearance and upgrading of services when assessing costs.
Suited to investors or small developers seeking a hands-on project in a well-connected urban parade. The property’s modest footprint and mixed-use setup make it appropriate for refurbishment to enhance rental value or conversion subject to planning and survey findings.
