A substantial freehold opportunity on London Road, Stoke-on-Trent, tailored for investors and developers. The mid-20th-century building provides approximately 5,924 sq ft of internal space across multiple floors and sits on about 0.45 acres including a generous car park. The property is offered with vacant possession, making it suitable for conversion to residential units, mixed-use schemes, or continued commercial/leisure use, subject to planning consent.
The site benefits from high visibility, excellent transport links, fast broadband and strong mobile signal — practical advantages for many end uses. There is no recorded flood risk, and the large plot offers scope for expansion or reconfiguration. Legal and auction information is available in the legal pack; the property will be sold at online auction on 13th August 2025 and requires registration to bid. The sale will be unconditional on the fall of the hammer with a 10% deposit payable.
Buyers should note material considerations: the building needs modernization and refurbishment to suit most alternative uses, and any change of use will require planning permission. The surrounding area is very deprived with above-average crime statistics, which may affect residential rental values or regeneration timescales. Prospective purchasers should review the legal pack and special conditions for any additional costs and investigate planning prospects before bidding.
