A prominent mid-terraced Victorian/Georgian building on Ormskirk’s pedestrianised Church Street, offered freehold with vacant possession. The ground floor provides open-plan retail space with full-height glazed frontage and central entrance, while two upper floors offer a kitchen/staff room and ancillary storage across 1,450 sq ft overall. No VAT is payable.
The property suits an investor or owner-operator seeking town-centre retail, professional office or potential mixed-use conversion (subject to planning and licensing consents). Excellent mobile signal and fast broadband support modern retail or service uses; nearby amenities include national and independent retailers, food outlets and transport links that sustain footfall.
Material considerations are clear: the area is classified as deprived with above-average crime, and the local market shows constrained renters and student-digs characteristics. The unit has no external space, a small plot footprint and will require refurbishment to modern standards for higher-value uses. Any change to food and beverage or residential use will need the usual consents.
For an investor this is a value-driven town-centre freehold with visible frontage and flexible upper floors. Be realistic about short-term works, tenanting strategy and planning constraints when assessing income potential.
