A compact commercial freehold in Leigh town centre offering a traditional terrace lock-up shop with usable upper floors and a rear yard. The property totals 528 sq ft and presents straightforward rental or owner-occupier investment potential close to the main retail area.
Sold at auction with a guide price of £65,000, the sale is suited to investors or small-business owners seeking a low-entry-cost asset in a busy mixed residential and commercial neighbourhood. The building’s Victorian brick frontage and large display windows give immediate street presence and scope for straightforward retail use or conversion (subject to consents).
