Large refurbishment potential near heavy footfall and transport links.
Freehold three-storey unit in prime shopping position
A substantial three-storey freehold in a busy Castleford shopping development, offered vacant and ready for a new use. The ground floor was a former betting hall with sales space, separate ladies and gents WC and an office; the first and second floors contain unused rooms and a large landing. The site sits immediately adjacent to a public car park and bus stops, with easy access to the M62 and dense local footfall.
This is a straightforward refurbishment/investment opportunity for a buyer who can manage works and reconnect the floors — there is currently no internal staircase between ground and first floors and upper rooms have been unused for years. The building has basic electric room heating, double glazing (installation date unknown) and cavity walls assumed to have no insulation; services and internal finishes will require updating. EPC Band C and no flooding risk are positive points.
The location offers strong local amenities — supermarkets, takeaways, pharmacies and regular public transport — and excellent mobile and fast broadband connectivity. Be candid about the area: crime levels are high and the locality is classified as very deprived, so consider uses that suit local demand or a value-driven refurbishment strategy to attract tenants or a new operator.
Priced at £119,500 freehold, this property suits an investor, local operator or developer prepared to carry out repair, reinstatement of stair access and internal refurbishment to unlock rental or trading value.
