Summary - 143 WAKEFIELD ROAD GILDERSOME LEEDS LS27 7HH
1 bed 1 bath Commercial Property
Versatile freehold premises with parking and low running costs.
Prominent roadside location on A650 with high passing trade
Set on the busy A650 at Junction 27 of the M62, this substantial semi‑detached commercial building offers versatile space over three floors with strong roadside visibility and regular passing trade. The ground floor provides a glass‑fronted reception and open plan area, while first floor offices, a boardroom, kitchenette and WC support typical professional or retail uses. A full‑footprint basement store and a large loft (potential for conversion subject to consents) add usable and development potential. Solar panels contribute to unusually low running electricity costs and an EPC C rating.
Externally there is off‑street parking for up to six vehicles, an important asset on this busy corridor. The property’s Victorian stone façade, high ceilings and characterful features will suit buyers seeking a prominent town location with scope to refresh and tailor the layout. The unit has previously operated as an accountancy practice, retail premises and a hair and beauty salon, demonstrating flexible permitted uses and occupier appeal.
Buyers should note material considerations: the building is older (c.1900–1929) with solid brick walls likely lacking modern insulation, secondary glazing and electric room heaters rather than gas central heating. There are signs that maintenance is required and potential damp should be investigated. The immediate area records higher crime and local deprivation, which may affect some uses. Currently there are very low running costs and no business rates payable to the current occupier, but any purchaser should confirm future liabilities with local authorities.
Overall, this is a high‑visibility, freehold commercial opportunity with substantial internal area (circa 1,992 sq ft), parking and expansion possibility — suited to an investor or occupier prepared to carry out refurbishment and improvements to realise rental or trading value.
