Summary - THE OLD COACH HOUSE, LIGHTWOOD ROAD SK17 7BP
1 bed 1 bath Not Specified
Central corner plot with strong developer potential near Buxton town centre.
Large single‑storey former garage on prominent corner plot
This substantial single‑storey former garage on Lightwood Road offers a rare central plot of about 0.2 acres (circa 832 sqm) within easy walking distance of Buxton town centre. The large masonry building and forecourt present immediate potential to continue commercial/industrial use, or to pursue redevelopment for residential or mixed use subject to planning consent. Its prominent corner position and large footprint make it well suited to builders, developers and speculators seeking an infill town-centre site.
The building is in poor external condition and requires significant repair and modernisation; several roller doors and glazed openings are boarded. There is limited external space (forecourt and narrow yard) and no private garden, so any residential scheme would need to address amenity provision and planning constraints. Buyers should allow for refurbishment costs, potential planning fees, and the urban setting when calculating viability.
The location benefits from excellent mobile signal and fast broadband, immediate access to local shops, bus routes and schools, and proximity to Buxton’s town-centre amenities. However, the area records higher crime statistics and is in a deprived ward, factors to consider for some end‑uses. The property is offered freehold via informal tender; proof of funds and solicitor details will be required with offers.
In short: a centrally located redevelopment opportunity with strong footprint and clear commercial reuse potential, balanced by visible repair needs and restricted external space. Best suited to experienced buyers—builders, investors or developers—able to manage planning and refurbishment risk.
