A substantial mid‑terrace commercial building on Higher Market Street, recently renovated and ready for immediate occupation or redevelopment. The property offers about 2,754 sq ft across multiple storeys with a flexible layout of roughly seven rooms, making it suitable for continued office use or conversion into residential units.
Relevant planning permissions are already in place to convert the space into flats, which materially accelerates any residential development programme. Road frontage and a central Farnworth location deliver strong footfall and ease of access to local transport links, supporting both commercial tenants and future residents. The building benefits from very low local crime and excellent mobile signal.
Buyers should note this lot will be sold via Modern Method of Auction with a starting bid of £250,000 plus a reservation fee; tenure is unknown. The immediate area is classified as very deprived, and the plot is small, which may limit external expansion. Broadband speeds are average — adequate for most uses but not high‑spec connectivity.
Overall this is a practical, value‑driven opportunity for investors or developers who want a largely ready property with permitted residential potential. The new internal finish reduces initial capital outlay, but buyers should factor in auction costs, unknown tenure, and local market characteristics when assessing returns.
