Wigan Retail for Sale

FOR SALE BY AUCTION: terms and conditions apply. <br/> <br/>Standing prominently at the junction of Market Place and Market Street, this substantial corner property occupies a central position in the heart of Wigan and well placed to enjoy the fortunes of the current £135,000,000 redevelopment of the Wigan Galleries, certainly making this an attractive opportunity for the keen eyed investor. <br/> <br/>The location is well served by amenities, with both Wigan Wallgate and Wigan North Western stations within easy reach, and the green expanse of Mesnes Park a short walk away. <br/> <br/>Arranged across four floors, the building offers a mix of occupied and vacant accommodation. The ground floor shop, with its first-floor ancillary space, has been sold on a 999-year lease at a peppercorn ground rent. <br/> <br/>The second floor, currently vacant, provides ancillary accommodation with scope for a range of uses. Accessed separately via a self-contained staircase, this space could be easily transformed into a multitude of potential opportunities, such as serviced offices or office space, a second floor retail space or potentially residential accommodation, subject to necessary planning consents. Finally to this floor a striking domed corner turret offers additional space and fabulous views over Wigan. <br/> <br/>The lower ground floor basement—also vacant—offers additional flexible space and could potentially have its own access with some minor reconfiguration, this large space has great potential for the next owner. <br/>Together, the property combines a strong central position with immediate potential.<br/><br/>
