A substantial corner mixed‑use site on Birstall High Street offering clear redevelopment and income potential. The combined footprint of 4,814 sq ft across two conjoined units sits on about 0.19 acres, with a hard‑surfaced forecourt for small/medium parking, an attached garage and an overgrown rear garden/yard that could accommodate extension or infill (subject to planning).
The buildings are traditional stone, two storeys high and formerly configured as showroom/workshop/office with a separate first‑floor flat. The long high‑street frontage and good pedestrian visibility make the plot suitable for continuing commercial use at street level with residential conversion above, or a more comprehensive redevelopment for mixed uses (STP). Freehold ownership removes leasehold complication.
Buyers should note the site is a fixer‑upper: parts are neglected or derelict with uneven roofing and general dilapidation. Internal condition is unspecified and substantial repair, refurbishment or full redevelopment costs should be anticipated. The immediate area shows higher crime rates and local deprivation, which may affect resale values and tenant demand.
Practical positives include excellent mobile signal, fast broadband and proximity to a broad range of town‑centre amenities and schools. The size and position of the plot give flexibility for investors or developers seeking a town‑centre scheme where visibility and access are priorities, provided they allow time and budget for remediation and planning.
