Rutter Green Estate Agents are delighted to offer for sale this highly distinctive and characterful former fire station, prominently positioned on Longmoor Lane in the established and well-connected Liverpool suburb of Fazakerley.

Dating from 1926, the property represents a rare opportunity to acquire a building with genuine local history and an instantly recognisable identity, whilst also offering significant potential for a purchaser looking for a commercial premises with an approved future use.

The property is being offered for sale with vacant possession, allowing the successful purchaser to take control of the premises immediately and undertake the approved works or explore the building's potential for their own commercial requirements, subject to the relevant planning and building regulation requirements.

A major benefit of the property is that planning permission has already been granted by Liverpool City Council under application 25F/1938, dated 3 October 2025.

Constructed in 1926, the former fire station provides a particularly unusual proposition within the local commercial property market. Buildings of this type rarely become available for purchase, particularly with an established planning consent already in place.

The property retains the character and identity associated with its former use as a fire station, whilst the approved change of use provides an opportunity to give the building a new commercial purpose.

Rather than purchasing a conventional modern office building, a buyer has the opportunity to acquire a property with considerable individuality and a history stretching back approximately a century.

The property would be particularly interesting to an owner-occupier, professional business, company requiring office and storage accommodation, investor or purchaser looking for a distinctive commercial premises within Liverpool.

The property occupies a prominent position on Longmoor Lane (A506) within Fazakerley, to the north-east of Liverpool city centre.

Longmoor Lane is an established arterial route serving Fazakerley, Aintree and the surrounding residential and commercial districts. The immediate area provides a mixture of established residential areas, local shops, businesses, community facilities and major public services.

The wider Longmoor Lane area benefits from a range of everyday amenities, including convenience stores, supermarkets, cafés, takeaways, professional services and other local businesses. The wider Aintree and Walton areas also provide extensive retail and leisure facilities.

The property's position is particularly attractive from a connectivity perspective.

Fazakerley railway station is located on Longmoor Lane, providing access to Liverpool's Merseyrail network and regular rail connections towards central Liverpool and Kirkby. The station has step-free access to all platforms and is served by Merseyrail.

The property is also well placed for access to the region's principal road network. Longmoor Lane provides access towards the A59, A506 and A5208, with the M57 and M58 motorways readily accessible. The wider motorway network provides connections towards the M6, M62, North Wales and the wider Northwest.

Aintree Racecourse, situated on the A59, is approximately one mile from the M57/M58 interchange, demonstrating the excellent motorway connectivity available within the wider area.

Liverpool city centre is readily accessible by both road and public transport, making the property a practical proposition for businesses requiring access to the city centre whilst potentially benefiting from the comparatively accessible commercial location of Fazakerley.

The property benefits from being positioned within the Liverpool urban area while remaining outside the immediate city-centre commercial core.

Liverpool city centre offers an extensive range of commercial, retail, leisure, cultural and professional facilities, including Liverpool ONE, the commercial district, Liverpool Lime Street, Liverpool Central and the city's universities, hospitals and waterfront.

For businesses, the location provides the opportunity to operate from an established North Liverpool position while maintaining straightforward access to Liverpool city centre and the wider Merseyside conurbation.

The surrounding Aintree, Fazakerley, Walton, Croxteth and Kirkby areas provide a substantial local population and employment catchment, whilst the nearby motorway network allows access beyond Liverpool to the wider Northwest.

The combination of vacant possession, an established commercial location, a substantial historic building and an existing planning permission makes this an interesting proposition for a variety of purchasers.

The approved office and storage arrangement could suit a business requiring a combination of administrative accommodation and storage, particularly where a prominent location and convenient transport links are important.

The property could also appeal to an investor looking to acquire a distinctive commercial building with an established planning position, subject to the purchaser's own assessment of the consent, works required, building regulations and future commercial use.

Properties of this nature rarely come to the market. The former Aintree Fire Station combines almost a century of history with an established Liverpool location and an existing commercial planning consent, creating an opportunity for a purchaser to acquire and repurpose a genuinely distinctive building.

Whether considered for owner occupation, office use with associated storage, investment or as a longer-term commercial project, the property offers a combination of character, location and planning potential that is difficult to replicate.

Offered for sale with vacant possession and planning permission already granted for conversion to offices and storage.

Viewing is strongly recommended to appreciate the character, scale, location and potential of this unique property.
