This freehold site on the A548 in Flint offers a rare development plot in a busy retail corridor, directly facing an established retail park. The 0.30-acre plot includes two mid-20th-century brick buildings with flat roofs, a main showroom, secondary outbuilding, and a large surface car park for approximately 50 vehicles. The property is sold with vacant possession as a retirement sale.
Transport links and local footfall are strong: Flint train station is a five-minute walk, and the A55/A494 provide quick road access to Chester, The Wirral and Merseyside. The site sits close to national and regional occupiers (Sainsbury’s, Asda, McDonald’s) and ongoing local development, making it suitable for retail, takeaway, coffee or convenience operators, or for a wider redevelopment subject to consent.
Buyers should note material constraints: the existing planning consent for retail units and a supermarket has lapsed, so new planning will be required. The buildings are older (mid-20th century) with flat roofs and may need significant refurbishment or demolition for redevelopment. The immediate area records high crime and high deprivation indices, which may affect tenant mix, lettability and planning outcomes.
Offered at £400,000 freehold with vacant possession, this plot presents a clear short-to-medium term development opportunity for an investor or operator prepared to manage planning risk and local market challenges. Its prominence on a main road, large car park and strong transport links are the principal value drivers; planning reset and local socio-economic factors are the principal risks.
