Summary - Union Road, Oswaldtwistle, BB5 BB5 3HS
2 bed 1 bath Cafe
Freehold investment with redevelopment potential near Rhyddings Park.
- Freehold Victorian terrace on a busy main road
A versatile freehold Victorian terrace on a busy main road, currently operating as a 24-seat café with commercial and residential use. Set over four floors, the building offers immediate trading potential with a café licence permitting opening 7:30am–5:30pm, seven days a week. The property benefits from excellent mobile signal and fast broadband, making it suitable for modern hospitality or retail concepts.
The site is offered with clear redevelopment potential subject to planning; the terraced layout and four floors create scope for reconfiguration or increased residential/commercial yield. Proximity to Rhyddings Park and several primary schools supports daytime footfall and local trade, while being in a prominent high-street position increases visibility for passing trade.
Buyers should note material local factors: the wider area is very deprived with above-average crime statistics, and the immediate neighbourhood is described as challenged white communities and blue-collar terraces. The plot is small and the building will likely need investment and refurbishment to unlock redevelopment or upgraded trading standards.
This property suits investors or small business owners seeking a freehold purchase with flexibility — ideal for a café, bistro, retail outlet or conversion to mixed-use (STP). It offers a clear opportunity to add value through refurbishment, planning-led change or rental optimisation, balanced against local socioeconomic challenges that will influence target market and rents.
