Manchester Retail to Rent

Trafford Park Railway Station is located in Trafford Park, to the north of Stretford in the Trafford Metropolitan Borough of Greater Manchester. On behalf of Northern, we are delighted to bring the former ticket office to the market for a community lease opportunity. Suitable uses include community, charity and social functions. The property was refurbished using community funding, therefore commercial offerings will not be accepted. The unit has a good frontage onto Moss Road in what is predominantly a residential area but close to the Trafford Park industrial area and not far from the A56.
