1 bed 1 bath Commercial Property
Blank-canvas redevelopment opportunity near major transport routes and local amenities.
- Prominent Manchester Road roadside location with good transport links
- Former two-storey Victorian/Georgian public house with character features
- Vacant and derelict: boarded/smashed windows and visible masonry damage
- Rear yard and outbuildings overgrown, littered, with hardstanding areas
- No verified internal floor area or confirmed tenure supplied
- Requires full refurbishment and likely structural/planning surveys
- Fast broadband, excellent mobile signal and very low crime
- Located in a very deprived ward; local market demand uncertain
This former Victorian/Georgian public house on Manchester Road is a clear renovation and redevelopment prospect for experienced investors or developers. The property occupies a prominent roadside plot with excellent transport links to the M60 and Manchester city centre, making it attractive for commercial reuse, conversion to residential units (subject to planning), or a new hospitality venture.
Externally the building is vacant and in significant disrepair: boarded and smashed windows, visible external masonry repairs required, overgrown rear yards and outbuildings. No internal accommodation details or verified floor area are provided, and tenure/planning history are unknown — a full site inspection and searches are essential before purchase.
Key value drivers are the location and plot potential rather than on-site condition. The area benefits from fast broadband, excellent mobile signal and very low recorded crime, and nearby amenities and schools support mixed-use redevelopment. Expect refurbishment costs, potential asbestos or structural investigations, and planning application timescales when budgeting.
Suitable buyers will be those able to manage an asset requiring significant capital and hands-on project management. This is a blank-canvas opportunity: realistic investors can add value through careful design, securing permissions, and addressing the building’s maintenance liabilities.
