An established salon and adjoining barber premises offered freehold on Woodplumpton Road, presented as a clear investment opportunity. The main salon has operated for over 24 years and currently provides six workstations, reception, backwash area, nail bar and stock cupboard; the neighbouring barber includes two working areas and a downstairs WC. The site totals approximately 1,654 sq ft across multiple storeys and sits in a very affluent, low-crime suburb with good transport links and strong mobile and broadband coverage.
The property includes a self-contained two-bedroom flat on the second floor, occupied by a long-term tenant for circa 26 years and in need of modernisation. The commercial units themselves also require renovation and updating — works expected include cosmetic refurbishment and probable upgrading of services (heating/insulation and internal finishes). Buyers should factor refurbishment costs into their plans.
This freehold can be retained as a multi-let investment, reopened under the current use, or repurposed subject to planning (SSTP). The vendor is retiring for health reasons. The listing notes the possibility to alter business use across the separate parcels; verification and consents will be the buyer’s responsibility. Proof of funds will be required before viewings.
Suitability: Investors or owner-operators seeking an income-producing, central suburban commercial building with redevelopment or value-add potential. Important negatives are the tenant-occupied flat needing modernisation and the need for refurbishment throughout; these are balanced by size, location and long trading history.
