A substantial three-storey freehold retail unit on Church Street, directly adjacent to Blackpool’s promenade and major attractions. The ground floor provides a large 882 sq ft sales area with HVAC, suspended ceiling and concealed lighting, supported by extensive storerooms, basement storage and generous first- and second-floor space suitable for back-of-house, offices or ancillary accommodation. The property is offered with vacant possession and a fire alarm already installed.
This location benefits from year-round pedestrian footfall and dense nearby retail and leisure amenities, making it suited to a range of retail or leisure uses. The building’s size and layout offer clear refurbishment or reconfiguration potential to attract long-term tenants or to adapt for an owner-occupier business.
Buyers should note material considerations: the immediate area scores as very deprived with very high recorded crime, which will influence tenant types, insurance and operating costs. The sale is by online auction with a starting bid of £340,000; prospective purchasers should ensure due diligence and budget for any fit-out or condition works despite the property being described as in good order.
Overall this is a prominent, turnkey-looking town centre investment opportunity in a busy seaside location, best suited to investors or operators comfortable with high-street trading in a challenging urban market.
