Adam Upholstery Ltd, Carlisle Street, Blackburn, BB1

Description

***SALE OF PREMISES DUE TO RELOCATION*** An rare and exceptional opportunity to acquire a substantial commercial manufacturing / warehouse premises located on Carlisle Street in the heart of Blackburn. The property has been home to a well-established sofa manufacturing business for the past 26 years and offers extensive, versatile facilities suitable for a wide range of commercial uses (subject to the necessary consents).

The building comprises two principal sections: a traditional brick-built construction along with an expansive clad warehouse unit to the side benefiting roller shutter doors and a 10-ton industrial overhead ceiling winch, which could be reinstated to full working order subject to appropriate maintenance and testing. Internally, the current owners have installed two mezzanine floors providing a combined approximate area of 3,615 sq ft, offering valuable additional storage or workspace.

In total, the property extends to approximately 24,165 sq ft, presenting significant flexibility for manufacturing, warehousing, distribution, trade counter, or alternative commercial operations. Externally, the premises benefits from two separate car parking areas — one positioned to the side of the property and a further car park to the rear — providing practical access and parking solutions for staff and visitors.

While the building offers immense potential and scale, it would benefit from a programme of maintenance and modernisation, allowing incoming purchasers the opportunity to adapt and enhance the premises to suit their specific operational requirements.
