Description
Two adjacent, mid terrace commercial units with accommodation arranged over three storeys. No. 14 is currently let to a hot food takeaway operator, generating a passing rent of £250pw equivalent to £13,000pa. No.12 is currently derelict and is supported by erected scaffolding. The adjoining properties benefit from approved planning permission to be demolished and replaced with a new three storey property which would comprise 2 x ground floor retail units and 7 x 1 bedroom flats. A signed agreement with the current tenant of No.14 for them to vacate if necessary (before the expiration of their lease) is included within the legal pack.
Location
The property is well located in Atherton town centre, fronting Market Place as it splits to St John Street and Church Street which lead to the A577. The local area is of mixed use, with residential dwellings along with amenities such as a Tesco Superstore, Boots Pharmacy, Subway as well as numerous other shops and eateries. The A577 inks the property to the M61 to the north and A579 and A580 to the south.
