Summary - Crab Street, St. Helens, WA10 WA10 2DJ
1 bed 1 bath Semi-Detached
Large, visible building with conversion potential for operators or investors.
Prominent corner location with heavy passing trade
A prominent corner commercial building in the heart of St Helens town centre offering a rare investor or operator opportunity. The ground floor is a fully operational amusement arcade and café with an equipped kitchen, fixed seating and a large open trading area that benefits from heavy passing footfall and good visibility on Duke Street and Crab Street.
The property is extremely large (approx. 1,806 sq ft) with a huge plot and an unused upper floor offering clear potential for conversion into one or two apartments, subject to relevant planning and building regulation permissions. The building holds an EPC rating of C and excellent mobile and broadband connectivity, making it suitable for a variety of uses including bar, restaurant, shop or mixed commercial/residential scheme.
Buyers should be clear about material considerations: the area scores high for crime and very high on deprivation indices; the building’s interiors are dated and will require refurbishment to change use or modernise; tenure is not confirmed and planning for conversion is unvalidated. This is a hands-on opportunity best suited to investors or operators who can manage renovation, permissions and associated site risk.
For the right buyer this is a high-potential, high-visibility site with strong evening trade nearby and scope to add value through refurbishment, repositioning or residential conversion above (with permissions). The building’s size and corner position make it a flexible canvas for a new operator or an investor targeting redevelopment value.
