A mixed-use investment opportunity comprising a ground floor commercial unit together with a self-contained first floor apartment, occupying a prominent position within the heart of Farnworth. The property is well located within an established area of mixed commercial and residential use, close to Farnworth town centre and conveniently placed for access to a wide range of amenities. The property also benefits from excellent transport links, with Farnworth Railway Station within easy reach and the motorway network readily accessible via St Peter’s Way.

At the time of writing, the ground floor shop is vacant and was most recently used as a salon. It is considered capable of achieving a rent in the region of £650 per calendar month (£7,800 per annum). The first floor apartment is understood to be let at £675 per calendar month (£8,100 per annum). The property therefore offers potential for a combined gross income of approximately £15,900 per annum once the commercial unit is re-let.

The ground floor commercial accommodation extends to approximately 614 sq ft and has an EPC rating of C. The accommodation briefly comprises a prominent retail/sales area, WC/washroom, hallway/work area, kitchen, and a storage area accessed from the rear yard.

The self-contained apartment extends to approximately 667 sq ft and has an EPC rating of D. The accommodation briefly comprises a living room, fitted kitchen, bathroom, and bedroom, together with a loft room accessed via a staircase from the lounge, currently arranged with a double bed. Externally, there is a shared rear yard, and the apartment is accessed via an external staircase to the first floor.
