Summary - 51-53 Bolton Street, Ramsbottom, Bury, Greater Manchester, BL0 BL0 9HU
1 bed 1 bath Retail Property (high street)
Large, income-producing building with strong conversion potential in Ramsbottom.
Grade II listed former Co-Operative Hall, built 1874
A landmark Grade II listed retail building in the heart of Ramsbottom’s busy high street, offering a rare combination of immediate income and clear redevelopment potential. The ground floor is income-producing with an established restaurant and barber delivering a combined rent of £27,000 per annum, while upper office floors have separate access and are currently vacant — presenting scope for conversion to residential or alternative uses (subject to planning).
The building is exceptionally large (circa 12,000 sq ft gross internal area) across three main floors with basement and lower-basement levels, and an opportunity to create a fourth floor by infilling the generous top-floor void. Much of the original Victorian character survives: cast-iron columns, timber galleries, a panelled wagon roof and an impressive main staircase offer strong appeal for restoration-led redevelopment.
Important constraints to note: the property is Grade II listed which will restrict works and may complicate conversion, and any change of use or apartment scheme will require planning consent from Bury Council. Broadband speeds in the area are reported slow, the plot is small relative to the building footprint, and the tenure is not specified — these matters should be clarified early in due diligence.
This asset will suit investors or developers seeking a landmark town-centre project that combines immediate rental income with medium-term value uplift through sensitive conversion. Its prominent high-street location, very low local crime and strong local amenities make it attractive, but specialist listed-building and planning advice is essential before committing.
