A substantial light industrial freehold prominently fronting Whitworth Road, Healey Mill offers c.52,600 sq ft of adaptable manufacturing and warehouse space. The site benefits from an excellent power supply, gas connection, dedicated loading bay, large rear yard (c.1.5 acres) and a staff car park — features that suit energy‑intensive users or multi‑unit occupational layouts.
Internally the facility includes ample offices, WCs and a canteen, plus large open warehouse areas with high ceiling sections and exposed steelwork. The building’s traditional stone and brick construction gives robustness, but parts of the estate will require ongoing maintenance and may benefit from targeted refurbishment to modernise services and finishes.
The plot’s rear land offers scope for additional parking, yard expansion or redevelopment subject to planning consent. Practical positives include off‑street parking, excellent mobile signal and fast broadband speeds; there is no identified flood risk. The property is offered freehold, which simplifies long‑term occupation or repositioning strategies.
Buyers should note the wider area is classified as deprived with an ageing industrial workforce profile; this may affect staffing and local market demand. Any conversion, subdivision or major change of use will require planning and building‑services upgrades. For investors or operators seeking a prominent, power‑capable industrial base with redevelopment potential, this is a substantial and well‑located opportunity.
