Description
An excellent opportunity to acquire a rare and versatile commercial site situated in the heart of Whitefield. Comprising five individual storage/business units (31, 31A, 31B, 31C and 31D Charnley Street), the property occupies a generous plot extending to approximately 0.15 acres and offers a wide range of potential uses for investors, owner-occupiers, developers, and local businesses.Brought to the market by Cardwells Estate Agents Bury in conjunction with BTG Eddison, this unique site represents an exciting opportunity to purchase a collection of self-contained commercial units in a highly accessible and sought-after location.The site has previously been successfully operated as a multi-let commercial investment, with the individual units generating a combined rental income in the region of £40,000 per annum when fully occupied. The units are now offered vacant and with no onward chain, giving prospective purchasers complete flexibility — whether to refurbish and re-let, occupy the premises for their own business needs, or explore potential redevelopment opportunities (subject to obtaining the necessary planning permissions).Each unit benefits from its own independent utility metering, with the exception of two units which currently share a meter, providing a practical arrangement for individual occupation and management. The layout of the site lends itself well to a variety of uses including general storage, workshops, trade space, small business operations, or other commercial purposes (subject to suitability and consents).The accommodation would benefit from refurbishment, offering buyers the chance to modernise and maximise the potential of each unit. With strong historical rental performance, multiple income streams, and the flexibility of separate units, this property presents an attractive proposition for commercial landlords and investors seeking a value-add opportunity.LocationPositioned just off Bury New Road, one of Whitefield's main commercial routes, Charnley Street benefits from a convenient and well-connected location surrounded by a mixture of established businesses, residential areas, and local amenities.The site is within close proximity of Whitefield Metrolink Station, providing direct links into Manchester city centre and surrounding areas. The location also offers excellent road connections, with convenient access towards Bury town centre, Whitefield centre, Manchester, and the M60 motorway network, making it ideal for businesses requiring strong transport links.Whitefield continues to be a popular and growing area with ongoing demand from both commercial occupiers and residential users, further enhancing the long-term potential of the site. A rare chance to acquire a flexible commercial site in a thriving North Manchester location. Early viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate the scale, versatility, and future potential of 31–31D Charnley Street.
