A rare mixed-use mid-terrace in the centre of Rainhill, currently arranged as a long-standing ground-floor hair salon with a self-contained one-bedroom apartment above. The apartment is let to a long-term tenant (vacant possession can be provided if required), giving immediate rental income or flexibility for an owner-operator. The salon benefits from an existing licence for hairdressing/barbering and an enclosed rear garden serving the commercial space.
This property will suit business owners seeking a live-work setup, investors after instant yield, or buyers wanting potential to convert back to a full residential home (conversion subject to necessary planning permissions). Constructed in the early 20th century, the building offers character features but will likely require modernization in parts — solid brick walls probably lack insulation and many finishes appear dated.
Practical positives include freehold ownership, no onward chain, mains gas central heating and double glazing (installation date unknown), very low local crime, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal. Important considerations: the conversion to full residential use has not been applied for and would need consent; the building may need updating to modern standards (electrics, insulation, finishes), and the plot is small.
Positioned a short walk from Rainhill Village amenities, cafés and Rainhill Station, this property combines location, flexibility and immediate income — attractive for investors, small business owners, or buyers with renovation ambition.
