Description

The property comprises a detached portal frame warehouse with ancillary reception, office accommodation and forecourt parking, extending in total to approximately 5,500 sq ft GIA.

Although the premises are currently occupied and configured for a motor trade use, prospective occupiers and purchasers should not necessarily view the property solely in this context. The underlying accommodation provides a substantial open-plan portal frame warehouse together with ground floor reception/ancillary accommodation and a range of private offices at first floor level.

The property therefore has the potential to accommodate a variety of warehouse, industrial, trade counter and other employment-related uses, subject to any necessary planning or other statutory consents.

Externally, the property benefits from a prominent frontage to Wigan Road together with a substantial forecourt providing useful customer/staff parking and servicing.

As a secondary consideration, the property also benefits from an existing residential redevelopment consent. Full Planning Permission, subject to conditions, was granted by West Lancashire Borough Council under Planning Reference 2022/1145/FUL for demolition of the existing warehouse and construction of four detached dwellings.

A copy of the Planning Approval Notice and approved plans can be made available upon request.

Flood Risk

Environment Agency open data, checked around the advertised map pin for the listed acreage. Long-term risk counts flood defences; the planning map's flood zones do not. The map pin for this listing marks the postcode area rather than the exact location, so these readings describe the surrounding area. Provided by LandSale, not the listing agent, and not part of the agent's particulars. Risk varies across a holding, so verify before committing.

Rivers and the sea

Very low risk

Planning map: Flood Zone 1.

Surface water

Medium to low risk (1 in 100 to 1 in 1000)
