Currently trading/tenanted at ground floor — occupation may affect access

This mixed-use, freehold property on Oldham Road offers a ready-made high-street retail presence with conversion upside. The ground-floor shop benefits from strong footfall, large display windows and a newly installed pitched tiled roof — sensible immediate investment characteristics for an income-producing asset.
Inside there is a substantial additional room with clear potential to convert into a one-bedroom flat, subject to necessary consents and fit-out. The property includes basic kitchen and WC facilities and is compact in footprint, so conversion will suit a small flat or extended back-of-house use rather than a larger apartment.
Practical positives include very low local crime, no flood risk, excellent mobile signal and fast broadband — useful for modern service businesses. Notable cautions: the area is classified as very deprived and the property is currently tenanted/ trading at ground level, which could affect access and timing. Viewings are restricted and available only from the end of November 2025, so allow time for inspection planning.
Overall this is a clear acquisition for investors or owner-operators seeking a town-centre commercial asset with immediate retail income and short-term residential conversion potential. Expect modest refurbishment and planning work to realise the flat conversion and be prepared for the realities of a busy urban retail pitch.
