Wigan Retail for Sale

FOR SALE BY AUCTION: terms and conditions apply. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. Together, the property combines a strong central position with immediate potential.
