Description
Location
Set in the South Pennine Hills, Rossendale provides commuters with good motorway connections with Manchester less than 20 miles away. Bury can be accessed by junction 2 of the M66 leading to the M60 and M62 and connections to Bradford and Leeds. Heritage Arcade is situated on Bacup Road in the heart of Rawtenstall, less than five minutes walk from Rawtenstall Bus Station.
The attractive yet strategic location of the town has led to a significant increase in demand from young couples and professionals wanting to benefit from country living but remain within easy access of the region’s cities and business destinations.
The property fronts directly onto Bacup Road which is accessed from Haslingden Road/ St Mary's Way (A682). Rawtenstall bus station and the town's Lidl supermarket are opposite to the property. The A56 is approximately 600m from the property which links directly to the M66 motorway.
The Opportunity
This is a unique redevelopment opportunity to acquire a landmark building in the heart of Rossendale town centre. The striking former picture house and shopping centre has been granted full planning permission to be converted into a luxury residential scheme comprising 42 two-bed apartments with dedicated car parking and landscaped private gardens with support from Historic England and Rossendale Borough Council, all apartments can be sold on the open market.
Planning
Planning consent was approved on the 28th of January 2021 for the partial demolition and redevelopment of the building into a residential scheme comprising 42 apartments, together with associated car parking and landscaped amenity space, planning reference number: 2020/0018.

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
