A practical light industrial investment in an established Chorley estate, this pair of inter‑linked units offers 3,078 sq ft of flexible workshop, storage and mezzanine space. The buildings sit in a terrace with roller shutters, concrete forecourt and three‑phase power, suitable for light manufacturing, trade counter or storage use. Good ceiling heights and substantial mezzanine and first‑floor storage increase usable area without major structural works.
There are clear cost and lease considerations to factor into acquisition. The property is long leasehold with c.82 years remaining; this will need prompt attention and may affect lending and resale. Ground rent is currently £2,745 pa plus VAT with five‑yearly reviews (next due 2028), and the EPC is Band E. Broadband speeds in the estate are slow, which may affect occupiers needing high data capacity.
From an investor or occupier perspective the site presents immediate utility and letting potential in a very affluent borough with excellent mobile signal and standard industrial estate access. Service connections are in place (mains gas, water, three‑phase electricity, mains drainage). Prospective buyers should commission surveys, confirm updated rates assessment after the split, and satisfy themselves on services and energy performance before purchase.
